Kerala HC stays order to repatriate Raju Narayana Swamy

The Kerala High Court has stayed the order to repatriate Swamy from his previous post, reports PTI. 

Swamy said that he challenged his repatriation and rejected the charges against him. He was upset that he was shifted from a central government post to a state government one.

"I was shifted from the post of CDB chairman, seven months after taking the charge. I have challenged the decision in the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT)," Swamy said, reports PTI.

Swamy is known for his anti-corruption stance.

He said that he discovered many corrupt activities when he was the chairman of the CDB in Bengaluru and Kolkata. He explained he put an end to teak wood worth crores of rupees being illegally cut in Karnataka's Mandya district and took stern actions against the perpetrators.
