The Kozhikode Vigilance Inquiry Commissioner and Special Judge on Tuesday posted to April 23 a petition moved by social worker and lawyer M.R. Hareesh seeking the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau (VACB) to take up a case against Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) legislator K.M. Shaji for allegedly amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income. However, the petition has now become infructuous as the VACB has already registered a case against Mr. Shaji under Section 13 (criminal misconduct by a public servant) of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 13 (attachment and forfeiture of property) of the Prevention of Corruption Act ( Amendment) Act. The case was registered based on a preliminary report the VACB had submitted in the court earlier. Meanwhile, the raids carried out on the residential premises of Mr. Shaji concluded on Tuesday evening. The raids were led by VACB Superintendent of Police S. Sasidharan from Monday morning.
