New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday frowned at former Kerala chief minister V.S. Achuthanandan for using judicial forums to drag on his fight against his political rivals.
The court warned of imposing exemplary costs if it found that the matter being raised before it was devoid of merits and he was using judicial forums for political agenda.
Asking Achuthanandan’s counsel if his client was ready to file an affidavit alleging corruption against Chandy, the court said it would impose heavy costs if it found him to be using judicial forums for political agenda.
Noting that even the Kerala High Court had said that Achuthanandan was only dragging on the matter, the court said: “High court says that you are only dragging on. You get political mileage in keeping the issue alive.”
