Pink Slip for Kerala IAS Officer's War Against Corruption?

A Kerala cadre IAS officer, known for his staunch stand against corruption, Friday said he would fight legally against the reported move of the state government to terminate him from the service.
Raju Narayana Swamy, a civil service examination topper of the 1991 batch, was reacting to reports in a section of the media that the government has recommended to the Centre to terminate him from the service. 

The additional chief secretary rank official still has 10 more years to retire. The Kerala government has not officially reacted to the media reports.
The reported move by the government came at a time when he was engaged in a legal battle against the central government's decision to repatriate him from the post of chairman of Coconut Development Board to his parent cadre, the government of Kerala.
The Kerala High Court has stayed the order to repatriate Swamy from the post of chairman of the board. "I have no official information about the decision to terminate me from the service. I came to know about it from media reports. (If it is true), it is very sad. I am pained," Swamy told reporters here.
