His name was suggested by the state government.Senior advocate K K Venugopal who appeared for the royal family suggested another name, but Gopal was appointed after long discussions.

The court said action will be taken for contempt of court if tried to disrupt documenting. If there are complaints against the members, it should be informed to the court.
