Important news developments likely from Kerala on February 4, 2022
Kerala Lok Ayukta is likely to deliver its ruling in a corruption and nepotism case against Higher Education Minister R. Bindu later in the day. The case's outcome is of political importance to the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government. Under section 14 of the Kerala Lok Ayukta Act, 1999, a declaration of guilt could cost Ms. Bindu her job. Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala, MLA, had hauled the Minister to the Lok Ayukta last month, accusing Ms. Bindu of unlawfully extending the tenure of the Kannur university vice-chancellor beyond the retirement age. Mr. Chennithala had alleged that Ms. Bindu had overstepped her constitutional bounds by attempting to coerce the Kerala Governor and Chancellor, Arif Muhammad Khan, to extend the university official's tenure in violation of existing rules and conventions.
