Dr MK Muneer, Minister for Panchayat and Social Justice has nine civil cases against him, according to his affidavit submitted ahead of the Kerala Assembly polls.
Among the nine cases, six are cases filed against him as the Chairman of Indiavision Satellite Communications, and most of them are cheque-bounce cases.
Indiavision news channel, which was closed down a year ago, has still not emerged out of controversies. Many of its employees went jobless and have not yet received their pending salaries or other funds.
The other cases are pertainting to cases filed against him as a Minister. In 2015 and 2014, two Lokayukta cases were registered against him for interfering into the affairs of Panchayat department to regularise Poyilinkal Thazhe Jama Masjid Madrassa cum Shopping Complex and Ullur Mahel Madrassa cum Shopping Complex at Ulliyeri Panchayat which were allegedly constructed breaching Kerala municipal building rules.
The court had found prima facie evidence against minister. The complaint was filed by social worker Ravi Ulliyeri.
