Top company sources say the body is mandated to verify a report on the subject prepared by the company auditors.
It will look into the appointments and promotions made during the period and will submit its findings in the next board meeting.
The move by CIAL to make fresh appointments had landed into a controversy after two of the major employee unions — the CITU affiliated Cochin International Airport Staff Federation and the INTUC affiliated Cochin International Airport staff association — accused the airport company of deviating from its recruitment and promotion policy.
