    KERALA CM DRAWS FLAK OVER LEGAL ADVISOR'S 'UNCLEAR' ROLE

    Kochi - Kerala's Marxist Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan
    is facing intense criticism from his own party, the
    CPI(M), and legal circles of the State for his refusal --
    or as some call it, inability -- to explain the exact role
    of his legal advisor MK Damodaran who, despite being in
    such a key position, has been arguing cases in the court
    as counsel for private clients opposing the Government's
    interests.

    Pinarayi had a few days ago even gone to the extent of
    justifying Damodaran's appearances in the court to argue
    for clients who were opposing Government interests. "He
    is not taking any payment for working as legal advisor.
    Therefore, nothing prevents him from taking up private
    cases. It is up to him to decide what case he should take
    up and what he should not."
