New Delhi: M Sivasankar, the former principal secretary of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, approached Supreme Court on Tuesday requesting interim bail in the LIFE Mission bribery case.
The lawyer representing the retired Indian Administrative Services (IAS) officer submitted a letter before the registrar requesting the court to grant interim bail on medical grounds.
