Kochi, Feb 15 (NationPress) The Kerala Retired High Court Judges’ Association has vehemently criticized the actions undertaken by a Sub-Inspector of Police against former High Court judge C.N. Ramachandran Nair concerning the Rs 1,000 crore fraudulent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) scheme.
The Association has resolved to address the alleged flagrant violation of law by T.A. Shahul Hameed, a Sub-Inspector of Police in Perinthalmanna, Malappuram District, who has initiated a case against their member C.N. Ramachandran Nair.
This CSR scam was masterminded by 28-year-old Anandhu Krishnan, who was the driving force behind an NGO, deceiving numerous innocent individuals throughout Kerala.
Krishnan attracted victims by promising high-value items such as scooters, laptops, and sewing machines at prices significantly below market value.
His aggressive marketing strategies persuaded many to invest their savings in what seemed to be an enticing opportunity.
The retired judges’ association has now resolved to take a stand against Hameed for filing a case against Nair.
They highlighted that the only mention of Nair in the First Information Statement is that he was the Patron of the NGO, which is untrue.
“Even if all the claims in the First Information Statement are deemed accurate, they do not indicate any wrongdoing by the former Judge, thus failing to justify his inclusion as an accused in the case.
“The Sub-Inspector has seriously misused his official authority by hastily complying with the First Informant or others by wrongfully implicating Nair,” the Association stated in their resolution.
“The actions of the Sub-Inspector may stem from either his ignorance of legal processes or undue influence from someone harboring a grudge against the former Judge.
“We, the members of this Association, promptly condemn in the strongest terms the unlawful and ill-intentioned actions of the Sub-Inspector.”
“We have also resolved to bring this situation to the attention of the Home Secretary, Government of Kerala, the State Police Chief, along with the learned Advocate General of Kerala and the Director General of Prosecution,” the Association announced.
Krishnan remains in judicial custody following his arrest by the Kerala Police, and last week, the state police chief delegated the investigation of the scam to the Crime Branch division of the Kerala Police.
Currently, over 400 cases of fraud have been filed against Krishnan, as police scrutinize various bank accounts linked to him.
