High Court Complaint

A writ application will be submitted to the high court with regard to the order on April 19^th, informed the lawyer Subrahmanya Joyce.

Sindhuri had submitted an application to the Central Administrative Tribunal, questioning her transfer after she received transfer orders as the official for employment and training department.

War with A. Manju

With the announcement of elections and the imposition of Model Code of Conduct, the district commissioner herself booked a criminal proceeding against district in-charge Minister A. Manju after claiming that work had taken place at the district in-charge Minister’s office which was in violation with the code. Following this notice, A. Manju claimed that the district commissioner had personal grude against him and therefore she had filed the F.I.R. and on April 7^th, he sent a request to the election commission that she be transferred. In relation to this, the election commission asked a report from Mysuru Regional Commissioner. According to the verification conducted by Mysuru Regional Commissioner Shivayogi N. Kalasad confirmed that there was no truth in the allegation against Rohini Sindhuri. The report claimed that it was a baseless allegation.

The government ordered the transfer of Rohini Sindhuri to Mysuru and Mysuru District Commissioner Randeep D. to Hassan.

Rohini Sindhuri remained in Hassan by sending a stay application against her transfer order to the Central Administrative Tribunal.
