Kerala High Court allows 'last chance' to investigating officer to complete probe in SNDP microfinance scam
The Kerala High Court has granted a final one-month extension to the investigating officer in the SNDP microfinance scam case involving Vellapally Natesan. The petitioner had requested a change of officer, citing delays and a lack of progress in the 2016 case.
Why it matters
The case highlights concerns regarding judicial delays and the accountability of investigative agencies in cases involving public funds.
The Kerala High Court on Wednesday allowed the investigating officer in an alleged microfinance scam of ₹15. 85 crore involving Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam general secretary Vellapally Natesan one more month as a “last and final chance” to complete the investigation and file the final report. The order was issued in a petition by M.S. Anil of Cherthala, seeking a thorough vigilance probe into the alleged misappropriation.
The report balances the court's decision with the petitioner's grievances without taking a side.
