The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday recommended that the constitutional functionaries need to take conscious and unanimous decision to recommend persons with the track record of integrity, competence and fair, both on the public and personal life to the posts of Lokayukta and Upalokayukta.
The court also said that appointments to these posts should be non-political, transparent, uninfluenced by caste, creed, etc., and should not be to accommodation centre for anybody.
A Division Bench comprising Justice B. Veerappa and Justice K.S. Hemalekha made these observations in its judgment of setting aside creation of Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
