In a recent development, the Kerala High Court has closed proceedings against Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) M R Ajith Kumar over his travel in a tractor carrying luggage for police personnel to Sabarimala and back to Pampa on July 12 and 13. The court’s decision comes following a suo motu case initiated based on a report from the Special Commissioner of Sabarimala, which alleged that Ajith Kumar had violated an earlier court order.
According to the report, the ADGP was found using a tractor meant for transporting goods for such purposes, a move that contravened a previous court order. The Kerala High Court had expressed disapproval over these actions but decided to close further proceedings in the case.
It is noteworthy that the DGP has already obtained an explanation from ADGP M R Ajith Kumar regarding his actions in this matter, suggesting potential internal disciplinary action taken against him. The Devaswom Board, which oversees the management of Sabarimala temple, had also filed a complaint against Ajith Kumar for the incident.
The decision by the Kerala High Court is likely to bring closure to this particular issue but may not be the last in the ongoing saga surrounding the management and access to the Sabarimala temple.
