KOCHI: There is no vigilance probe against DGP S Sreejith for travelling abroad without prior permission. The government has rejected the demand for a vigilance probe. The Home Secretary informed the High Court that there was no need for a vigilance probe. Additional Chief Secretary Minhaj Alam appeared before the High Court and gave his explanation. When the Home Secretary informed that there was no need for a probe now, the High Court asked when the vigilance probe would take place. The high court also asked why there was no firm decision.
The High Court has come down heavily on Minhaj Alam. The court asked whether the High Court is a village office or a tehsildar’s office. Are you sending a request to the clerk to ask for time? Why didn’t the Home Secretary apply directly? The High Court reminded that this is the highest Constitutional Court in the state. You are occupying the most important position in the state government,” the court said. The court criticised the appointment of a junior officer to inform the decision in the vigilance probe and sought time.
