Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala High Court on Thursday criticised the functioning of the Advocate General's office and Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
In his oral observations, single bench Judge Alexander Thomas asked what is the authority and right of the chief minister to criticise the Attorney General of India appearing in the liquor case when nothing is functioning properly here.
The observation hints that the office of the Advocate General is not functioning properly in Kerala. There are 120 government advocates, but they are inefficient and are not filing proper statements and affidavits.
The judge said this while considering a case of murder where the plea was that the investigation should be handed over to the CBI as the police is not inquiring into it efficiently. The judge came down sharply when he asked for details which was not furnished. The statement was filed by the government pleader but had not reached the court.
Comparisons were also drawn that the state should learn from the functioning of Tamil Nadu's Advocate General.
