Kerala HC Slams Govt Over SPARK Data Misuse Ahead Of Elections

Описание: A legal and political storm is brewing in Kerala as the High Court questions the state government over alleged misuse of the SPARK payroll system.

The Service and Payroll Administrative Repository for Kerala (SPARK) is designed to process salaries and maintain employee records. But recently, five lakh government employees, judicial officers, and welfare beneficiaries received WhatsApp messages touting a 10% DA hike — without consenting to share their personal numbers.

The High Court has demanded an immediate explanation, highlighting concerns about privacy, data protection, and potential political exploitation ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.

Opposition leaders are calling it “data theft”, while the government defends it as official communication. With polls approaching, the court has made it clear: personal data cannot be misused for political purposes.
