SC Slams Kerala Govt For Delay In Re-Appointing Senkumar As ĐGP: Imposes 25k Cost For Seeking Modification Of Order
Pulling up Kerala government for the delay in re-appointing T P Senkumar as DGP despite its order on April 24, the Supreme Court today refused to admit a plea filed by the state for a modification/clarification and imposed a cost of Rs 25,000. "We can impose cost even if you are withdrawing the petition", a bench headed by Justice Madan B Lokur told senior lawyer Sidharth Luthra who appeared. Meanwhile the bench issued notice to the state on a contempt petition filed by Senkumar against Kerala Chief Secretary Nalini Netto for delaying his reinstatement as the State Police Chief as ordered by the Supreme Court. SC had concluded that Senkumar’s removal took place in a most arbitrary manner without following the established process of law Senior advocate Dushyant Dave, who appeared for the ousted DGP had argued that his removal from the post by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan can only be related to his independent and thorough investigation into the political violence in the state in which several CPI leaders had come under the probe and had nothing to do with his handling of Jisha murder case or Puttingal fire tragedy as alleged by the state government.
