Dharwad-based Samaj Parivarthan Samudaya (SPS) has welcomed Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s statement that the State government will follow the High Court’s orders on scrapping Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and transferring all corruption-related cases to the Lokayukta.
The Chief Minister has said that the State government will abide by the High Court judgment and scrap the ACB after following due procedure. “We welcome the statement,” SPS founder S.R. Hiremath said in Dharwad on Sunday.
SPS was among the many petitioners who had approached the High Court against the State government’s decision to set up the ACB. They had said that the State government had created a parallel anti-corruption body by diluting the powers of the Lokayukta.
