Kerala High Court Suspends Former DGP Thachankary's Sentence in Disproportionate Assets Case
The Kerala High Court suspended the four-year prison sentence and fine imposed on former DGP Tomin J. Thachankary in a disproportionate assets case. The trial court had convicted him for amassing assets beyond his declared income during 2003-2007. Thachankary appealed, citing irregularities in prosecution, miscalculations of income, and procedural issues, including the handling of evidence and investigation scope. The High Court allowed suspension of the sentence while considering his appeal against the Vigilance Court's verdict.
