Cashew import scam: Kerala HC issues contempt notice to dept secretary K. Biju over CBI probe order

The Kerala High Court has issued a contempt of court notice to K. Biju, the Secretary of the Cashew Development Department, regarding his issuance of a sanction order allowing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to prosecute two former officials of the Kerala State Cashew Development Corporation (KSCDC). The court criticized the initial order as being overly accusatory and noted that it appeared to have forced the state into granting the sanction. Biju later revised the order, but the court still raised concerns about the process. The case stems from a contempt of court petition filed by Kadakampally Manoj of Kollam. Justice A. Badharudeen ordered Biju to appear before the court on July 10.
