India News: RA Mehta's refusal to be Lokayukta gives Congress an edge over Modi
Gujarat: In a major embarrassment for the Gujarat government, Justice (retd) RA Mehta has refused to take charge as the Lokayukta because the state government took a long time in notifying his appointment. Justice RA
Mehta's appointment was cleared by the Supreme Court after it was challenged by Gujarat government.
The state government had first moved the Gujarat High Court which upheld Justice Mehta's appointment as Lokayukta. Then Gujarat government challenged the High Court order in the Supreme Court which was turned down.
It subsequently filed a review petition and then a curative petition, both of which were turned down.
This refusal by Justice R.A. Mehta has given an oppurtunity to Congress leaders to surround Narendra Modi in his own state and to question him.
