Neelalohithadasan Nadar sentenced for outraging modesty of woman I.A.S. officer

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : A. Neelalohithadasan Nadar, an opposition legislator in Kerala, was Thursday sentenced to three months in prison and asked to pay a fine of Rs.50,000 for outraging the modesty of a woman official.

The sentence was passed by Thiruvananthapuram chief judicial magistrate, who also granted bail to Nadar. The incident had occurred Dec 21, 1999 at the office in the assembly complex of Nadar, then the state transport minister. He had outraged the modesty of Nalini Netto, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) official who was then transport secretary.

At the time of the incident, only Nadar and Netto were present in the office. The issue surfaced after some time and Nadar had to quit as minister Feb 9, 2000 after Netto formally lodged a complaint with then chief minister E.K. Nayanar. Netto also lodged a complaint with the Crime Branch of the state police.

Nadar said he would appeal the verdict. This is the second such case in which Nadar has been sentenced.

Last year, a court in Kozhikode sentenced him to a year in prison for outraging the modesty of woman forest official Prakrithi Srivasatava. Nadar later secured bail in that case. Thursday's verdict came after a protracted legal battle during which Nadar approached the Supreme Court to stay the case.

Nadar, who belongs to the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S), is a former Lok Sabha member and a veteran legislator. Speaking to IANS, Public Prosecutor Ajay Kumar said the magistrate had asked Nadar to reform himself and that was the reason why he was given a lesser sentence.
