Bangalore, Nov 16: Rejecting the recommendation for appointing former Kerala High Court chief justice S R Bannurmath as Karnataka Lokayukta, Governor H R Bhardwaj today asked the BJP government to find another judge not entangled in any controversy.
“The government had proposed the name of Justice Bannurmath for the post of Lokayukta. I do not agree with that and therefore sent back the name as his (Bannurmath) name is embroiled in a number of controversies,” he told reporters here.
Bannurmath is facing allegations of securing allotment of a residential site in judicial layout on a land earmarked for civic amenities.
Bhardwaj, who has been having uneasy relationship with the BJP government ever since he occupied the gubernatorial post, said on a sarcastic note, “It is not difficult to find a judge who has no controversy. The government can do a Google search, they will find names.”
