https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=283079 Jurisdiction under the Andhra Pradesh Lokayukta Act extends only to persons who strictly fall within the statutory definition of "public servant". Officers and employees of cooperative societies were outside that definition because they were not appointed to a State public service or post, and the chief executive officer, clerk and business manager were not shown to be chairmen or presidents of the governing body. Employees of the road transport corporation were also outside the definition, as the divisional manager and dispensary doctor were not at the helm of its management. The Lokayukta therefore lacked jurisdiction to investigate the complaints. en-us Fri, 13 Dec 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 06 Sep 2019 11:33:18 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=283079 Jurisdiction under the Andhra Pradesh Lokayukta Act extends only to persons who strictly fall within the statutory definition of "public servant".
