The MIC treasurer-general to know his fate in the party at its central working committee meeting next month
KUALA LUMPUR: The fate of newly-appointed MIC treasurer-general R. Ramanan will be decided upon at the party’s central working committee (CWC) meeting next month, said party president G Palanivel.
“We have fixed our first CWC meeting in February. We will look into this matter,” he told Bernama via short messaging service (SMS) here today.
He was commenting on several calls from MIC leaders and an opposition leader to remove Ramanan, following his involvement in a fraud case.
Yesterday, the High Court here ordered Ramanan to return RM5.5 million to psychiatrist Tan Sri Dr M. Mahadevan, which he had fraudulently received from the defence ministry when “assisting” the psychiatrist to recover the payment, four years ago.
Judicial Commissioner Lee Heng Cheong, in his decision, said he agreed with Dr Mahadevan’s counsel that Ramanan had fraudulently misrepresented himself to the plaintiff, resulting in him to transfer the money into the defendant’s personal account on May 19, 2010.
Ramanan was ordered to pay the money within 14 days from today, but following his application, the court allowed an interim-stay of execution, pending an application next Monday.
The MIC will hold its first CWC for the term 2013/1016 after the party held its election on Nov 30, last year.
The MIC CWC is also expected to decide if the party needs to hold a re-election of national office bearers following allegation of misappropriation of votes at the November polls.
The election was held to pick three vice presidents and 23 CWC members. A total eight aspirants fought for the three veep positions while 88 candidates contested the 23 CWC positions.
Palanivel and Dr S Subramaniam won the party top two positions uncontested.
