Kochi, Oct 5 (PTI) The state government on Monday opposed in the Kerala High Court, a plea moved by the KPSC challenging a Crime Branch probe into the alleged irregularities in examinations conducted by it for various government posts and services in the state.
The prosecution told Justice A Badharudeen that the plea by the Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) was not maintainable as it has no legal right to file a writ petition.
The contention was opposed by the lawyer for the KPSC, claiming that the plea was maintainable.
The court said that the matter requires a detailed hearing and listed it on October 13.
It said that in the meantime, the prosecution can file a counter or statement indicating its stand regarding the petition.
The KPSC has moved the High Court seeking quashing of the FIR registered by the Crime Branch.
The Kerala police had in July constituted a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the leadership of S Ajeetha Begum, Inspector General of Police, Economic Offences Wing Headquarters, Thiruvananthapuram.
The SIT’s other members are Zacharia Mathew, Superintendent of Police, NRI Cell, Police Headquarters, and Ajayanath G, Deputy SP, crime branch headquarters.
The team has been constituted to conduct a detailed and expeditious investigation into the allegations.
