KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Tuesday said that all the deals in the road camera project should be examined. The court ruled that it must be determined whether the project has resulted in any losses or additional costs to the exchequer. The High Court also barred the government from transferring funds for the camera project until the court issues an order or prior permission. A division bench comprising Chief Justice SVN Bhatti and Justice Basant Balaji said that it would examine the project documents.

The High Court gave the direction on the PIL filed by Opposition Leader VD Satheesan and Ramesh Chennithala seeking a probe into the AI camera deal under the supervision of the High Court. Appreciating the opposition in the matter, the court gave the petitioners an opportunity to file a detailed affidavit.

The court appreciated the intervention of the opposition in bringing up the matter. The petitioners have been given two weeks for filing a detailed affidavit regarding the AI camera deal. The court will consider the petition again after three weeks.
