Thiruvananthapuram: Adding to the woes of NHRC chairman K G Balakrishnan,the Bar Council of Kerala on Sunday adopted a resolution demanding comprehensive probe into the charges against the ex-Chief Justice of India. A general body meeting of the BCK held in Kochi unanimously resolved to appeal to the President of India to order a comprehensive inquiry into the allegations which have risen against K G Balakrishnan and other family members, council chairman advocate Jayarajan K said.
The inquiry, he said, should cover all aspects as would be necessary to restore the faith of the people in the judiciary,he said. Why we took it seriously is because the Chief Justice of India is the highest judicial officer in the country. It is not a simple matter that fingers have been pointed at a person who once decorated the high office.As a statutory body,we felt it was our duty to call upon those responsible to do the needful and cleanse the legal system, Jayarajan said.
The move comes close on the heels of similar resolutions passed by the bar associations of Kozhikode,Thrissur and Chavakkad.While lawyers in Kozhikode have demanded a judicial inquiry,the Thrissur Bar called for an independent inquiry to unravel the allegations against KGB,whose sons-in-law P V Sreenijan and M J Benny have been accused of amassing wealth.
