A Cabinet sub-committee has been formed to look into the Lokayukta’s recommendations of disciplinary action against government officials facing graft charges.
Disclosing this after the Cabinet meeting on Thursday, Law Minister J.C. Madhuswamy said that based on the recommendations of the sub-committee, the State Cabinet would take a final call on the issues related to disciplinary action.
Replying to queries, the Minister said the government had asked the authorities concerned to strengthen the Lokayukta in the wake of the Karnataka High Court’s order on closing down the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
