Kochi: The Kerala High Court has stayed the observations made by a vigilance court regarding allegations and SIT probe against Tantri Kandararu Rajeevaru in the Sabarimala gold loss cases.
Justice A Badharudeen's order came on the appeal by the Special Investigation Team seeking cancellation of the bail granted to the Tantri and the quashing of the vigilance court's observations while granting the relief to Rajeevaru.
The High Court also issued notice to the Tantri seeking his stand on the SIT's appeal.
The SIT has claimed that the relief granted to Rajeevaru has resulted in a 'grave miscarriage of justice'.
The Court of Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, Kollam, had granted bail to the Tantri observing that there was not even 'an iota of evidence' against him in the cases related to the alleged loss of gold from temple artefacts.
