Stressing the importance of better coordination and understanding between the Executive and the Judiciary for giving better governance, Upalokayukta K.N. Phaneendra has said that people’s lives can see meaningful transformation if both these wings of the democracy work hand in hand.
“Lokayukta is such a powerful institution that it can get work done by simply issuing a notice to the authorities concerned. It is the power that is given to the institution. The very purpose of the constitution of Lokayukta is to ensure that the government discharges its duties efficiently. If both the Judiciary and Executive join hands together, they can achieve marvels in transforming people’s lives,” he said.
He was speaking on the roles of Lokayukta and Legal Services Authorities at a public event in Bidar on Sunday. The event was organised jointly by the Karnataka State Legal Services Authorities, the Bidar District Legal Services Authorities and the District Judiciary.
