Court seeks report on action taken against corrupt govt staff
The New Indian Express Nagapattinam
|May 26, 2025
SHOCKED to know that a state government official convicted in a corruption case was allowed to continue in service without proper action, the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court directed the chief secretary and vigilance commissioner to submit a report containing the list of all convicted public servants in the state's employment and the action taken against them, within a month.
Justice KK Ramakrishnan gave the direction recently while dismissing a petition filed by an assistant executive engineer of Thoothukudi rural development department, J Amala Jessi Jacquillin, against denial of promotion to her, despite the fact that she was convicted in a disproportionate assets case in 2024. He also imposed a cost of ₹50,000 on Jacquillin and directed her to pay the amount to Sethupathi Government Higher Secondary School, Tiruchuli.
Jacquillin joined government service as an assistant engineer in 1998 and was later promoted as assistant executive engineer.
