**Kerala Court Employee Suspended Amidst Controversy Over Secret Recordings**

**KOTTAYAM, August 26, 2025** – A Confidential Assistant (Selection Grade) in Kottayam has been suspended following accusations of secretly recording confidential judicial dictations and private conversations of a Vigilance Judge, sparking a heated controversy. Sherly K.R. is alleged to have used her mobile phone to record Rejanish K.V., the Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, without his knowledge or consent.

According to a report by the Special Judge, the recordings included confidential judicial dictations, official conversations, and personal discussions. The Judge believes Sherly K.R. intended to damage the reputation of court officials and misuse the recorded material.

The incident came to light after Sherly K.R. was allegedly caught recording a conversation with the Judge regarding leave taken without permission. The Judge’s report also indicated that the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Kollam had earlier filed a complaint against the employee.

However, the Kerala Gazetted Officers Association (KGOA) has condemned the suspension, alleging that the Vigilance Judge mentally harassed Sherly K.R., who serves as the District Joint Secretary of the organization. The KGOA claims that Sherly K.R. was denied leave and subjected to intimidation and threats. The organization further alleges that Sherly K.R. was detained in the Judge’s chamber until late at night without food and water, while the Judge threatened to file false complaints against her. The KGOA has warned of protests if the suspension is not lifted.

An investigation into the matter is currently underway, with concerns raised regarding the potential scope of the recordings and the security of court proceedings.
