Senkumar moves CAT challenging Govt decision to remove him as

Senior IPS officer T P Senkumar today approached the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) challenging the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front government's decision to remove him from the post of Director General of Police.
The CAT posted the case for June 7 for hearing the government's view on the matter.
Senkumar moved the CAT challenging the government's decision after senior IPS officer Loknath Behara took charge as state police chief.
In a top level reshuffle in the Kerala Police force on May 31, the new LDF government had shifted Director General of Police Senkumar and appointed Behara in his place.
Senkumar, who is currently on leave, alleged that the government removed him from the post by violating the Kerala Police Act.

Soon after the reshuffle, Senkumar in a Facebook post had indicated his discontent on his transfer, saying during the last 35 years he had always kept honesty, integrity and justice and a special care for the downtrodden.
"I still have all my vertebras intact. I have never appeased anybody for any posting. I have always tried to be impartial and fair", he had said.
