A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Friday ordered a CBI inquiry into the allegation of illegal felling of trees from Periya forests in Wayanad in collusion with the former Revenue Minster, Mr. K. E. Ismail, and the former Forest Minister, Dr. Neelalohithadasan Nadar. The court made it clear that the investigation should not be confined to the matters in the report alone but all other matters relating to the illegal felling.
