Petition against Jiji Thomson for not to appoint him as kerala Cheif Secretary.

On Tuesday January 27 a petition was filled by a CPI(M) worker Sudhakaran against the seniour IAS Jiji Thomson for appointing him as Kerala Chief Secretary .The petitioner also sought a direction to the state and central governments to decide on prosecution sanction of Jiji Thomson and to consider disciplinary action against him.

According to the petitioner, Jiji Thomson, the then Civil Supplies Corporation Managing Director, was the ‘master brain’ in the deal.

By filing final report, Vigilance officials “colluded” with Thomson and a “feeble” charge was filed, the petitioner alleged.

The High Court had on January 8 declined to accept the state’s plea to withdraw prosecution in the corruption case relating to palmolein import, holding that such a move would only help the accused ‘personally or otherwise.

The court had also turned down Jiji Thomson’s plea to quash proceedings against him.

The case relates to alleged irreregularities in the import of palmolein by the Congress government headed by late K Karunakaran in 1991-92. About 15,000 tonnes of palmolein was imported at a price higher than the prevailing rate.
