Kerala High Court lambasts promotion of VS Achuthanandan's son
It's strange that a clerk got a promotion because of his political influence, and now he is holding the charge of such a prestigious institution (IHRD) as Director, observed Justice D K Singh while considering a case in connection with the appointment of V A Arun Kumar. The petition was filed by Vinu Thomas, Dean (Academic) of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, Thiruvananthapuram, who had earlier served as the principal of Model Engineering College, Thrikkakara.
The court also directed the stakeholders to permit Vinu Thomas to take digital copy of relevant pages so that he can respond to a memo issued for alleged irregularities in the purchase of items when he was principal of the engineering college. The contrary would be denial of natural justice, the court said.

Kerala Cabinet calls Achuthanandan a symbol of relentless democratic struggle
Thiruvananthapuram, Jul 24 (PTI) The Kerala cabinet on Thursday described former Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan's life as 'one of relentless struggle for the protection of democratic values" and said his passing was a great loss to the state's political and democratic movements. Achuthanandan, a veteran Communist leader, died on July 21 in Thiruvananthapuram at the age of 101. He was cremated with full honours at Valiya Chudukadu in Alappuzha district late on Wednesday evening. Expressing profound grief at the loss of Achuthanandan, the Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, noted that he was a symbol of a glorious legacy of struggles, extraordinary determination, and uncompromising stances in resistance. 'His passing marks the loss of a valuable political presence that bridged the era of the national freedom movement with contemporary politics," the Cabinet said in its tribute. Born into poverty, Achuthanandan began life as a farm labourer in Kuttanad, where he organised workers against wage and caste-based exploitation. He walked from village to village, bringing agricultural labourers together and leading campaigns for better pay, job security, and land reform, the Cabinet said. He was at the forefront of efforts to abolish the 'chaappa" system, an inhuman method of labour recruitment. Achuthanandan's political journey began with the freedom struggle and developed through the worker-peasant movements that shaped Kerala's leftist landscape. His name remains closely associated with the historic Punnapra-Vayalar uprisings of the 1940s. Elected to the state Assembly multiple times — from Ambalapuzha in 1967 and 1970, Mararikulam in 1991, and Malampuzha in 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016 — he served as Leader of the Opposition and was Chief Minister from 2006 to 2011. From 2016 to 2021, he chaired the Kerala Administrative Reforms Commission. 'As Chief Minister, he led Kerala forward through several key administrative decisions. In his role as Leader of the Opposition, he raised numerous people's issues in the Assembly. VS was a statesman who made unparalleled contributions to governance, law-making, and the political history of Kerala. His Cabinet functioned with a constant effort to reflect the voice of the people in governance and to take the state forward on the path of development," the Cabinet said. In a heartfelt Facebook post, Achuthanandan's son V A Arun Kumar also expressed his deep sorrow and gratitude, recalling the painful realisation that the morning marked their first without him. 'Hundreds of people close to my father wished to see him while he lay on his sickbed. But due to strict instructions from the doctors, no one could be allowed to meet him in his final days. I know many must have felt disappointed by this. I still wonder if I was able to respond warmly enough even to those who came to the hospital to offer their support," he said. He said it took him a long time to accept his father's passing. 'Everything that happened afterwards feels like a dream. I still vividly remember sitting next to my father on the bus, watching the sea of people flowing past us, waving their hands in farewell, on the journey to Valiya Chudukadu," Kumar said. Recognising the efforts of all who stood with them, the family also conveyed their heartfelt thanks to the doctors, well-wishers, and the thousands who gathered to honour Achuthanandan. 'I am deeply grateful to everyone –the doctors at the hospital, those who came to comfort us, the thousands who stood with my father one last time, and the party… Thank you all," Kumar wrote.

Kerala man who claimed judges working under Sangh influence gets 3 days in jail for contempt of court
A division bench of the Kerala High Court recently sentenced a person to undergo three days of imprisonment and pay a fine of Rs 2,000 in a suo motu contempt of court case registered on charges of publishing contemptuous and intemperate remarks against the judges on social media. The convicted person, P K Suresh Kumar, a resident of Alangad in Ernakulam district, had made a series of social media posts about high court judges. While the court convicted Kumar on July 16, the bench of Justices Raja Vijayaraghavan and Jobin Sebastain noted that he had faced a similar contempt of court case for making scandalous statements against a judge, but was discharged after he tendered an unconditional apology. In the suo motu proceedings initiated against Kumar, the court noted that the accused had stated that the judges comprising the devaswom (temple affairs) bench of the high court were functioning under the influence of the Sangh Parivar and other external agencies, and that judgments were being rendered to appease such factions. In another Facebook post, he had alleged that a judge of the high court had publicly endorsed the Sangh Parivar and participated in events organised by such groups, purportedly to secure favour from them. Finding that the accused person committed criminal contempt by scandalising the court with mala fide intent, the judge said, 'The shoulders of the court are broad enough to shrug off certain comments, and there cannot be any dispute on the same. While fair and temperate criticism is protected, criticism based on distortion, falsehood, and aimed at vilifying the institution cannot be countenanced. The comments made by the respondent cannot be categorised as an isolated or inadvertent remark,'' said the court in its order.
