SIBAL ASKS MODI TO ACCEPT HC VERDICT ON APPOINTMENT OF GUJ LOKAYUKTA

Reacting to the Gujarat High Court verdict upholding the appointment of Lokayukta in Gujarat, Union minister and senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal has asked the Narendra Modi government to accept the verdict with respect.
“Once the verdict has come the state government should accept it with respect, “ Kabil Sibal said while talking to media in New Delhi.

The Gujarat High Court  upheld the appointment of RA Mehta as the lokayukta by Governor Kamla Beniwal. The petitioners in the case termed it a historic judgement.
A two-judge bench had last October delivered a split verdict on the government’s plea questioning Mehta’s appointment.
While Justice Akil Kureshi had upheld the appointment of Mehta, Justice Sonia Gokani disagreed. The case went to a third judge, Justice V.N. Sahai, who completed the hearing Dec 29, 2011 and announced the verdict on Wednesday.
