https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172605 The word "action" in Section 2(1) of the Karnataka Lokayukta Act, 1984 is confined to administrative action, including decisions, recommendations, findings, omissions or other cognate administrative conduct. Applying ejusdem generis to Section 7, the phrase "in any other manner" cannot be expanded to cover non-administrative conduct unconnected with such action. The wide definition of "allegation" does not enlarge Section 7(2), because investigation remains limited to complaints concerning "action" within Section 2(1). Allegations of amassing wealth by a public servant therefore do not fall within that expression, and investigation on that basis is not maintainable. en-us Mon, 27 Jul 1998 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 10:17:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172605 The word "action" in Section 2(1) of the Karnataka Lokayukta Act, 1984 is confined to administrative action, including decisions, recommendations, findings, omissions or other cognate administrative conduct.
