New Delhi: A special Supreme Court Bench will hear two pleas on Wednesday, October 21 — one filed by former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in the alleged CMRL case, and another by the YSRCP over local body elections in Andhra Pradesh.
Vijayan's plea relates to the alleged CMRL bribery case, which is under investigation and is being heard as per the court's directions.
The second plea, filed by the YSRCP, concerns violence during the local body polls in Andhra Pradesh. The petition alleges that the violence prevented its candidates from filing nominations.
With the court set to take up both pleas the same day, attention is on the political developments in Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
In Kerala, a political row over the CMRL case is playing out between the ruling front and the Opposition. In Andhra Pradesh, the local body election process is under way, with charges flying from both sides. Political circles in both states are watching the Supreme Court closely.
