Is Yogi govt trying to insult UP Lokayukta, asks HC
When the Lokayukta challenged the downgrading, the UP government told the HC that Lokayukta was at par with retired bureaucrats who headed statutory commissions in the state. A bench of Justices Devendra Kumar Arora and Ranjan Roy disapproved the manner in which the state government casually attempted to equate Lokayukta, who by law is at par with the state chief justice, with retired bureaucrats.
