Kochi: Hardly a week after it suggested the authorities to wind up the
operations of AG's office, the Kerala High Court again showered
criticism on the institution.
Justice Alexander Thomas, who earlier censured the office, made the remarks on Friday during the hearing of a case involving the Vigilance registered under the Prevention ofCorruption Act.
The court accused the government of showing lack of interest in dealing with the cases.
He further directed the Chief Secretary to carry out an investigation into the slackness of the AG's office in dealing with four cases. A report should be submitted before the registrar within two weeks sans consultation with the higher ups, it added.
Despite asking the AG's office to verify facts, it failed to deliver. Such attitude amounts to contempt of court. The laxity in executing orders could not be permitted. The AG is keen on certain cases. If the situation prevails, the AG's office needs to be restructured. None of the orders issued by the courts are implemented, the court noted.
If the state of affairs continues, an inspection has to be carried out by appointing a retired Supreme Court judge as amicus curiae, it warned.
