KDF plans High Court march

By Our Staff Reporter

KOLLAM, AUG. 10. The State president of the Kerala Dalit Federation (KDF), P. Ramabhadran, has said that the movement for social justice needs to be carried forward into agitation against the courts too.

He was addressing a press conference here today to condemn the alleged haste shown by a section of the High Court top brass to go in appeal against the verdict of the High Court Judge, K. Thankappan, on the recruitment of munsiffs and magistrates.

Mr. Ramabhadran said the appointment of munsiffs and magistrates in question was a violation of the Constitution by the judiciary with the support of the State Government.

The State Government adopted a policy of supporting the anti-reservation lobby, he alleged.

He wondered why the CPI(M), a party which claimed to be the champion of the scheduled communities, was maintaining silence on the verdict. The KDF would organise a march to the High Court in protest against the appointments.

The date for the same would be decided at a meeting to be held in Ernakulam on August 15, he said.
