Ending the deputation of seven judicial officers to various posts in the State government, the Kerala High Court has asked them to get back to judicial work by year-end.
Those who have been asked to come back to the judiciary before the completion of the deputation period include A. M. Basheer, State Legislative Secretary; A. Shajahan, Registrar of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal; and Siju Sheik, Registrar of the Kerala Lok Ayukta. The deputation of two Sub Judges each to the posts of Deputy Registrars in the tribunal and one in the Lok Ayukta and Joint Secretary (Suits) in the State Law Department has also been cancelled.
The Speaker of the Kerala Assembly may shortly approach the High Court seeking to allow the State Legislative Secretary to complete his deputation term.
