Latest News about Vellappally Natesan
The Kerala government told the High Court that no prior prosecution sanction is needed to proceed against Vellappally Natesan and others in the multi-crore microfinance case. This position conflicted with the Vigilance Department's earlier view that sanction was required. The court deferred its order on the interim application, and eight charge sheets have so far been prepared in the case.
The Kerala High Court directed the state government to decide by 10 September 2026 on sanction to prosecute Vellappally Natesan in the ₹15.85 crore microfinance case. The case concerns alleged financial irregularities tied to the SNDP Yogam microfinance scheme, and the court's direction keeps the matter under active legal scrutiny.
The Kerala High Court removed Vellappally Natesan from his position as SNDP Yogam general secretary while dealing with issues linked to audit lapses in the organisation. The ruling followed a legal challenge concerning the functioning of the body and its office bearers.
Vellappally Natesan said he would dedicate the Padma Bhushan, which was conferred on him, to Sree Narayana Guru. He said the honour recognized his community-oriented work, including microfinance and organisational activity, rather than personal achievement.
