The Supreme Court held that Jaleel's appointment of a relative as the general manager in the Kerala State Minorities Development Finance Corporation, flouting rules, was unconstitutional.
The terms and conditions for appointing the Lok Ayukta and Upa Lok Ayukta and their position have made it clear that their decision would be final
Jaleel, who was the Minister for Higher Education and Minority Welfare, resigned a week ago after the Lok Ayukta held him guilty of nepotism and said he had no right to continue in office.
The anti-corruption Act could be applied to the issue and the petitioners can again approach the appointing authorities seeking permission to prosecute Jaleel.
Earlier the State leadership was quick to distance itself from Law Minister A K Balan’s statement supporting Jaleel.
Though the Lok Ayukta ruling against a minister was rare, CPM had no second thoughts on challenging it in the High Court.
The Muslim Youth League had on November 2, 2018, alleged that Adeeb KT, a cousin of KT Jaleel, was appointed general manager in Kerala State Minorities Development Finance Corporation, flouting rules.
Jaleel, in his petition, said the Lok Ayukta findings were not based on evidence or proper probe, and hence its ruling should be set aside.
There are inconsistencies in the law minister's arguments regarding the provisions of the Lokayukta Act.
To appoint his close relative KT Adeeb in the post of general manager at the Kerala State Minorities Development Finance Corporation, Jaleel had sent this letter seeking changes in the qualifications for this post.
