Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta

The Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Saturday passed the Uttar Pradesh Lift and Escalator Bill, 2024 and Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta and Up-Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill, 2024.

Retired judge Surendra Kumar Yadav, who gave the verdict in the high-profile Babri mosque demolition case last year, took oath as the deputy lokayukta or the up-lokayukta in Uttar Pradesh today.

A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a direction to the Uttar Pradesh government to amend the law to bring the office of Chief Minister under the purview of state ombudsman, Lokayukta.

As part of the Uttar Pradesh Police Week celebrations in Lucknow, senior officers discussed the challenges they face when it comes to solving cybercrime and how even well-protected organisations are vulnerable to hacking.

Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik has written to Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav directing him to take action against former legislator Krishna Kumar Sachan after he was found guilty in the Lokayukta report in a disproportionate assets case.

Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik on Friday referred to the President another controversial bill which seeks to end the role of the Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court in selection of the Lokayukta.

The Supreme Court has cancelled the choice it made for the Lokayukta or ombudsman of Uttar Pradesh in December, and has selected a new appointee today.

"We will deal with Uttar Pradesh," the Supreme Court warned today, saying that it will not change its decision to appoint former judge Virendra Singh as the Lokayutka or ombudsman of the state.

The Supreme Court today did not allow Uttar Pradesh (UP) government's submission to defer hearing on a plea challenging the appointment of Lokayukta as senior lawyer Kapil Sibal was not available, saying the state cannot be accommodated "beyond a point".

The swearing-in of former high court judge Virendra Singh as Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta was today deferred after his controversial appointment was challenged in Supreme Court before which the state government gave an undertaking to keep it in abeyance till the matter is decided.

Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik today appointed Justice (retired) Virendra Singh as the new Lokayukta of the state.

After the Supreme Court slammed the Uttar Pradesh government for failing to appoint a Lokayukta, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has said that there was no laxity on his part and he was not at fault.

With a sharp reprimand for the Uttar Pradesh government, the Supreme Court today appointed a retired judge Justice Virender Singh as the state's Lokayukta or anti-corruption ombudsman.

Politically vibrant Uttar Pradesh will ring the curtain down on 2015 after a tug-of-war between Raj Bhawan and Akhilesh Yadav government on Lokayukta issue and the horrific Dadri lynching, even as ruling Samajwadi Party pulled up its socks for Assembly polls a year away.

The Supreme Court on Monday gave the Uttar Pradesh government two days to appoint a new anti-corruption ombudsman or Lokayukta. The top court has repeatedly directed the government to replace the existing Lokayukta but the orders have not been complied with.
