The Thrissur Vigilance court on Thursday revoked a government order that dropped the names of three former officials from the list of the accused in the Malabar Cements Limited (MCL) bribery case. Now all the three, including former Chief Secretary John Mathai, should face trial.
The government, by a special order in 2011, had dropped the names of Mr. Mathai and former managing directors of the company Padmakumar Nair and N. Krishnakumar from the list of accused. According to the chargesheet, there were three cases of corruption in the purchase of raw materials for cement production, causing huge loss to the company.
