New Delhi: Controversial former central vigilance commissioner (CVC) P.J.
Thomas Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking a CBI probe into
the "distorted reporting of the court proceedings" against him.
Thomas, whose appointment as the head of the Central Vigilance
Commission was set aside by the apex court, said that "distorted"
reporting and telecasting of the court proceedings that were
"prejudicial" to his interest should be inquired into.
He said the reporting had termed him "tainted" and one of the
persons who had "shamed India".
The former CVC appealed to the court to initiate contempt
proceedings against all those found guilty of publishing or
telecasting the distorted version of the court proceedings while
it heard a petition by the Centre for Public Interest Litigation
challenging his appointment on the grounds of a criminal case
against him in Kerala relating to the import of palm oil at
inflated rates.
