The Kerala High Court allowed a last chance extension of one month for the investigating officer to finalize the investigation into the alleged ₹15.85 crore misappropriation of funds in the SNDP microfinance case. The government informed the court that 'bona fide attempts' had been made in the course of the probe, and sought additional time to complete the investigation effectively.
While accepting the State's request, the High Court made it clear that no further extensions would be granted and directed the investigating officer to submit the final report within the stipulated period, highlighting the importance of bringing the prolonged investigation to a close.
