The court informed that it would consider the plea after hearing Mayor Arya Rajendran’s response on the matter.
GS Sreekumar, a former councillor in the corporation moved the plea in the High Court seeking a CBI probe into the controversy. The court will consider the petition on November 25.
“The above act of nepotism of the Mayor of the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation and one of the councillors is very much against the oath taken by both of them at the time of swearing in as councillors in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation.
“This issue itself is having an epic proportion of corruption which has been institutionalised after the present dispensation has come into existence, the petition, filed through advocate Rajkumar, alleged.
