https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183981 Section 3(1) of the Orissa Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 1995 requires meaningful consultation with the Chief Justice of the High Court for appointment of the Lokpal, because the office is quasi-judicial and the Chief Justice's opinion carries primacy in securing a suitable appointment. The Leader of the Opposition has only a consultative, non-binding role: the Government must consider his views or objections, but he has no right to insist on a particular nominee or veto the appointment. The appointment process is valid where the Chief Justice is effectively consulted and the Opposition's views are considered, even though they do not control the final decision. en-us Wed, 09 Oct 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 15:05:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183981 Section 3(1) of the Orissa Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 1995 requires meaningful consultation with the Chief Justice of the High Court for appointment of the Lokpal, because the office is quasi-judicial and the Chief Justice's opinion carries primacy in securing a suitable appointment.
