HC refuses to interfere with decision to probe land assignment

August 11, 2011: The Kerala High Court refused to interfere with the decision of the state cabinet directing Vigilance probe into the assignment of land to a relative of former Chief Minister VS Achutanandan.
Disposing a petition by TK Soman, who is related to the CPI (M) veteran, challenging the Vigilance probe and cancellation of assignment of 2.33 acres of land in Kasaragod district, Justice Antony Dominic said the order of cancellation of assignment has to be treated as notice. The court said the petitioner can file his objection to the proposal of cancellation of assignment within 4 weeks. The state government can pass fresh orders after considering objections, the court said.
