Ex-Kerala HC Chief Justice to be appointed as State Human Rights Commission chief

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala High Court’s recently retired Chief Justice S. Manikumar was on Monday cleared to be appointed as the new State Human Rights Commission chief.

The selection panel comprised Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Leader of Opposition V.D.Satheesan, and Speaker of the Kerala Assembly A.N. Shamseer.

CM Vijayan and Shamseer voted for Manikumar while Satheesan expressed his verbal dissent. His dissent will now be given in writing also, but that doesn’t deter the clearing of the name of Manikumar.

Manikumar's name will now be forwarded to Governor Arif Mohammed Khan.

The opposition to Manikumar by Satheesan was least surprising as veteran Congress legislator Ramesh Chennithala, soon after the former retired, alleged that Manikumar was sitting on many of his cases against Vijayan.

Chennithala then said, "Quite a few cases which I filed during my tenure as Leader of Opposition were left untouched as he did nothing and said he is going to be the next Kerala State Human Rights Commission chief."
