Keralam Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala on Friday said the government would take an appropriate decision on the Kerala High Court’s directive to register an FIR against Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan and others in the ₹1.72-crore CMRL-Exalogic payoff case after examining the order.

Addressing the media on the sidelines of c0c0n 2026, an annual cybersecurity conference in Kochi, Mr. Chennithala said the government had so far acted in the case only on the basis of legal advice and that the latest court order was not a setback for the UDF government.
