23-year-old Dr. Vandana Das was stabbed to death by a man brought for medical examination by the police. Her parents have raised concern that the police appear to be trying to hide their own security lapses in the case.
The Kerala High Court was dealing with a case where BJP activists were accused of murdering a CPI(M) worker due to political rivalry, while they were all lodged in the Kannur Central Prison.
The government cannot merely restate allegations made by the prosecution in a criminal case to hold that a service candidate is "bad" or "unsuitable for the post", the Kerala High Court said.
The Kerala High Court was unconvinced by Lakshman's claim that the allegations against an "extra-constitutional" authority in the CMO were included in the petition without his knowledge by his lawyer.
The Court also criticised Supplyco for blaming the delay on difficulties faced by a bank that was part of an agreement to finance payments, adding that shifting such financial responsibility to farmers was uncharitable.
