Gujarat High Court Split On Lokayukta Appointment

The Gujarat High Court today appeared to be divided on the appointment of Lokayukta by the Governor with one judge upholding it and another indicating she does not not agree with him.

Dismissing the state government’s petition challenging the appointment of Justice R N Mehta as the Lokayukta by Governor Kamla Beniwal on August 25, Justice Akil Qureshi rejected the government’s contention that the Governor acted without the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. The judge maintained that this argument cannot be held right in this case as it was a peculiar case. But the other judge on the division bench, Justice Sonia Gokani, said, “I do not not completely agree with my fellow judge.”
