The very object of registration of a disproportionate assets case against public servants would whittle away if the Lokayukta police left loopholes in the form of procedural defects while launching prosecution, said the High Court of Karnataka.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna made these observations while noticing two procedural aberrations committed by the Lokayukta police while registering a disproportionate assets case in April, 2023, against K.L. Gangadharaiah, an assistant executive engineer, who is working as Assistant Director of of Town Planning in Yelahanka, Bengaluru. Mr. Gangadharaiah, in his petition, had questioned the legality of registration the case.
