https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196900 Section 2(m)(iv) of the Delhi Lokayukta and Upalokayukta Act, 1995 was read as broadly covering office-holders in government companies, but Section 17 was treated as an absolute declaratory bar excluding members of the Civil Service of the Union and All India Service from inquiry. An IAS officer on deputation to a government company did not lose that status because of the posting, so the Lokayukta lacked jurisdiction over complaints against such officers. The text also notes that a Lokayukta should not be impleaded or heard to defend a challenged order, because neutrality and the appearance of impartiality require that the successful party defend the decision. en-us Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 18:32:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196900 Section 2(m)(iv) of the Delhi Lokayukta and Upalokayukta Act, 1995 was read as broadly covering office-holders in government companies, but Section 17 was treated as an absolute declaratory bar excluding members of the Civil Service of the Union and All India Service from inquiry.
