Kempaiah's 'fake' caste certificate issue reaches HC

Bengaluru, Sept 16: The `fake caste certificate' case of former IPS officer and adviser to the Home Minister Kempaiah has reached the High Court of Karnataka.

After Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) closed the complaint in this regard, the complainant Dinesh Kallahalli has filed a writ petition in the high court, seeking probe by an outside agency into the case.

The petition contended that in 1964, in the register of admission to government school it was mentioned that Kempaiah belongs to Halumatha caste, which is not a Scheduled Tribe. In 1970, a caste certificate was obtained from the Block Development Officer, which was counter signed by the district magistrate, showing Kempaiah as belonging to Kadu Kuruba community, a Scheduled Tribe. Under the ST category, he was selected as IPS officer.

In August 2017, the ACB had given a clean chit to Kempaiah in the complaint after a preliminery enquiry. The ACB had closed the complaint after receiving a report from the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement (DCRE) which certified that Kempaiah belongs to the Kadu Kuruba community.

The ACB had sought the report from the DCRE since the complaint was not directly connected to an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The complainant's claim was that in 1990, the DCRE had indicted Kempaiah for submitting a false certificate.

The DCRE report submitted to ACB stated that a 2010 report submitted by the then revenue inspector, approved by the tahsildar, concluded that Kempauah belongs to the Kadu Kuruba community. It was also stated that the revenue inspector had visited Kempaiah's native village Gollahalli in Kasaba hobli of Kanakapura taluk in Ramanagaram district.

Bengaluru, May 3: The Commissioner of Health and Family Welfare Services in the government of Karnataka KA Dayanand issued an order approving quarantine of asymptomatic COVID-19 infected international passengers on payment basis at star hotels.

The international passengers in the state have been categorised into A, B and C groups depending on their symptoms and co-morbid conditions. Category A passengers are symptomatic and are being sent to isolation hospitals which may be COVID care centres.

Category B and C passengers are asymptomatic and are being sent to institutional facilities like hostels, guest houses, hotels, etc.

"On the basis of demands by category B and C passengers to provide them star hotel accommodation on a self-payment basis, they have been granted the choice of staying in those hotels at their own cost. The BBMP Special Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner can have a meeting with such hotels and finalise the negotiated rate," Commissioner Dayanand said in the order.

"The hotels for category B passengers should have round the clock presence of health personnel while hotels for category C passengers should be visited by health staff once a day," he added.

ASQ is a globally established programme that measures passengers’ satisfaction while traveling through an airport. Airports Council International (ACI), which is an independent agency of airport operators, carries out international benchmarking of aerodromes.

“Four AAI airports — Chandigarh, Mangaluru, Trivandrum and Lucknow — have been adjudged the best in the world in recently announced 2019 ASQ awards. These airports won 10 awards in four categories,” Airports Authority of India (AAI) said in a release here on Tuesday.

The survey measures passengers’ satisfaction across 34 key performance indicators that include eight major categories such as access, check-in, security, airport facilities, food and beverage, retail, airport environment and arrival services.

The four categories in which these airports bagged the best airport awards were size and region, environment and ambiance, customer service and infrastructure and facilitation, as per the AAI.

The survey was carried out at across 356 airports across North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

The survey results are monitored by airport tariff regulator AERA, NITI Aayog, and civil aviation Ministry, the release added.
