Kodagu :

Sreevidya P I has been appointed as the new Deputy Commissioner of Kodagu District replacing Dr Richard Vincent D’Souza.

The state government has transferred Dr D’Souza and he has been replaced by Sreevidya who had earlier served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Kodagu Zilla Panchayat.

Earlier, Sreevidya has also served as the Assistant Commissioner at Sakleshpur in Hassan district.

It is alleged that the state government has replaced Dr D’Souza in the wake of allegations against him with regard to an order passed by him in a property dispute.

The Karnataka High Court recently directed the Chief Secretary of the state to initiate department proceedings with regard to the alleged orders passed by Dr D’Souza in a property dispute. The case has been adjourned to December 14. Now the appointment of the new DC to Kodagu has raised many eye-brows in the district.

It is alleged that Dr D’Souza had issued two different orders in a property dispute matter involving conflicting parties on the same day and a case was filed against him in the High Court. -(KK, NGB)
