HC quashes MD appointment in Kerala warehousing corporation
The HinduThe Kerala High Court on Friday quashed the appointment of Anil S. Das as Managing Director of the Kerala State Warehousing Corporation and directed the State government to appoint a new Managing Director in two months. The court passed the verdict while allowing a writ petition filed by K. Vikraman challenging the appointment of Mr. Das. Counsel for the petitioner, T. Sanjay submitted that the five Central government members in the director board had opposed the proposal to appoint Mr. Das on the ground he was unfit and did not have the expertise, domain knowledge, qualification and experience to head the loss-making organisation. Anil S. Das’s appointment had been made in complete disregard to the procedure prescribed under the provisions of the Warehousing Corporations Act.
