“In all 22 cases are pending before the Lokayukta and fresh notices have been issued to everyone. The first hearing will be held on June 6,” a senior official in the Lokayukta office said.
Justice (Retired) P K Misra has taken over as new Lokayukta of the State filling the vacancy that resulted in 2013 when Justice (Retired) Sudershan Reddy resigned on personal grounds.
The Lokayukta has received cases relating to corruption by government servants, illegal appointment in services and others which were kept pending in the absence of a Lokayukta.
The government had also referred cases related to civil liability due to illegal mining, as pointed out in the Justice M B Shah Commission report, to the Lokayukta.The Lokayukta had referred these back to government seeking clarifications and are yet to receive any response.
