Forged documents tumble out of Nadar's closet

The latest allegation that Neelalohithadasa Nadar, former Kerala minister in EK Nayanar's LDF Ministry (1996-2001), had forged papers to ensure acquittal in the Nalini Netto sexual harassment case has given a second life to an old case. The defence lawyers had argued that the former transport secretary, Nalini Netto, IAS, complained of sexual harassment after noticing that some charges and comments in the transfer note could embarrass her. The transfer document was a photocopy of a note dated February 1, 2000, believed to have been sent by Nadar to the Chief Minister, advising that Nalini Netto be transferred from her post. Now, as the case unfolds, allegations are flying thick and fast that the former minister and present BSP state chief Nadar got the court relief with the help of a forged document. Interestingly, it was the former Section Officer in the Transport Department, Vijayakumari Amma, herself who pointed out the discrepancy in the document: it contained her signature while she had joined the department only in May 2000! The document came to Vijayakumari's notice when the Additional Chief Secretary, General Administration Department, issued her a memo seeking an explanation and asking for Netto's transfer order in original. The case arose when Netto accused Nadar of outraging her modesty at his office in the Kerala Legislative Assembly complex on December 21, 1999. Netto had complained directly to the then Chief Minister and CPI(M) politburo member, the late EK Nayanar. Consequently, Nadar lost the ministerial berth within a few days. Thiruvananthapuram First Class Magistrate Court punished him with three months’ imprisonment and a fine of Rs 50,000. But, the Fast Track Court acquitted him on July 22, 2008.

Now, the Kerala Government is understood to have referred the matter to the High Court, which is due to consider an appeal against the Thiruvananthapuram Fast Track Court verdict that had acquitted Neelalohithadasa Nadar.
