THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Lokayukta full bench on Monday will consider the CM's relief fund misappropriation case again on Monday. The petition is being heard by a full bench comprising Justice Cyriac Joseph, Deputy Commissioner Justice Haroon-ul-Rasheed and Justice Babu Mathew Joseph. The High Court had rejected the petition filed by the complainant RS Sasikumar questioning the decision taken by the three-judge bench a year back for consideration by the full bench.

The Lokayukta had earlier conducted a preliminary inquiry into the misappropriation of the relief fund and after hearing a three-judge bench ordered a detailed inquiry into the complaint. Sasikumar approached the High Court alleging that the three-judge bench is again examining whether the matter can be investigated and it is against the Lokayukta Act and the position of the Lokayukta will destroy the faith of the people in the legal system.
