Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government on Tuesday informed the High Court that senior lawyer MK Damodaran won’t take over the legal adviser post of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Though a circular was issued regarding his post, he did not accept it.
The court was considering a petition filed by BJP State President Kummanam Rajasekharan questioning the appointment of senior counsel MK Damodaran as CM’s legal adviser. However, Damodaran took the decision even before the consideration of the petition.
Damodaran’s appearance for cases against the state government had kicked up a row with many criticizing Chief Minister and the legal adviser. Not just the opposition, the CPI also had expressed strong dissent over the Chief Minister’s legal adviser appearing in court for government’s opponents.
