Shimla, September 25

The Vidhan Sabha today passed the Himachal Pradesh Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill 2023 to enable the appointment of a judge of the High Court as Lokayukta.

The Bill proposes to make changes in Section 7 of the Act to make a High Court judge also eligible for the post of Lokayukta.

The amendment has been necessitated as in 2021 it was decided that that not just a retired Chief Justice but even a judge of the High Court could be appointed as Lokayukta.
