Kochi, Aug 27 (PTI) – The Kerala High Court has temporarily halted proceedings initiated by a special vigilance court regarding a disproportionate assets (DA) complaint against Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) M R Ajith Kumar. Justice A Badharudeen issued this interim order in response to a plea filed by Ajith Kumar, contesting the special court's decision from August 14. The High Court's stay will be in place until September 12, while the detailed order is still pending release.
The special vigilance court had earlier dismissed the clean chit that the vigilance bureau had granted to Ajith Kumar concerning allegations of amassing disproportionate assets. The court found that a prima facie case indeed existed, warranting further action. It had planned to move forward with examining the complainant and other potential witnesses in the case. The High Court is scheduled to review Ajith Kumar's plea again on September 12.
