The Kerala Lokayukta on Friday gave a perfect chit to Higher Education Minister R Bindu regarding the re-arrangement of Kannur University bad habit chancellor last month.
Congress pioneer Ramesh Chennithala had moved the counter defilement body saying the priest composed two letters to Governor Arif Mohammad Khan demanding that he re-name Gopinath Raveendran as bad habit chancellor and in the process she abused her power and it was a reasonable instance of nepotism and infringement of promise of office.
The Lokayukta, in any case, dismissed his appeal saying the clergyman in her ability as the supportive of chancellor had just proposed the name of Raveendran and the Governor might have either endorsed or dismissed her solicitation. Lokayukta boss Justice Cyriac Joseph said it can’t be understood as abuse of force and there was nothing out of sorts on her part in proposing a name.
Equity Cyriac Joseph even scrutinized the significance of a test into the matter when neither the supportive of bad habit chancellor nor the chancellor (Governor) went under the domain of the Lokayukta and both conceded to the trading of the letter between them. The pastor has invited the decision however Chennithala said he will consider an allure subsequent to going through the decision.
“I invite the decision. It appears Chennithala is in trouble after he lost the resistance chief’s post and sniffs debasement all over. A part of the media additionally emerged with numerous accounts and speculations,” the pastor said. Be that as it may, she would remain silent with regards to the Governor’s job in the contention.
“I adhere to my place that it was a reasonable instance of abuse of force and position. I will go for an allure in the wake of going through the decision,” said Chennithala adding his re-arrangement was some help as a trade-off for designating the spouse of the CM’s political secretary K Ragesh as an academic partner in Kannur University.
Curiously, the re-arrangement of Raveendran was a bone of dispute between the Governor and the public authority. He was re-delegated for a time of four years in last November after the government provided a warning and designated a choice board of trustees to choose the new V-C. However, later the public authority demanded his re-arrangement and R Bindu composed two letters to the Governor regarding the present situation. Later Khan communicated his annoyance in broad daylight saying he had to sign the arrangement letter.
The connection between both hit a difficult time after the last option sent an emphatic letter to CM Pinarayi Vijayan on December 8 in which he said he was truly tormented over the “plunging standard” of the advanced education area and accused “baldfaced political obstruction” for this. However he would not take up the chancellor’s post later the CM assuaged him.
