Thiruvananthapuram: The State Government in a hurry with Amendment Lok Ayukta acted through rules only because of the cases of the chairman of the Minister and the Minister of Higher Education came before the court, opposition leader V D Sathean said here on Friday.
“On February 1 and 4, cases against the chairman of the Minister and the Minister of Higher Education will be taken by Lok Ayukta.
The government tried to make amendments to the 22-year law just to escape these two cases,” he said.
Sathatesan said that LDF who did not say a word of action for the past 22 years, now cites the inconsciousness of actions when a case against the main minister comes before Lok Ayanka’s work of the court.
“The Supreme Court has clarified that only the court empowered to declare that a non-constitutional action.
A minister, a government leader or party cannot rule whether an act is not constitutional or not,” he said.
Sathean added that the Supreme Court and the High Court had considered part 14 of the law and did not find it unconstitutional.
Revealing the need to seek the President’s approval of the amendment, the opposition leader said that when the action passed in 1999, it had received the approval of the President.
“When every major amendment that will change the nature of the action, it must be done only by the assistant president.
In 2013, the Center has passed Lokpal’s actions, and Lokayukta Act in harmony with the central action.
So, check whether there are provisions in the Action Lok Ayankta What opposes the provisions of the central action can only be done through the supervision of the President, “he said.
Also, this problem is included in the list together, which also makes it suitable for the supervision of the President, he added.

“How can the executive function as an appeal authority on the assessment skipped by law experts who are the Supreme Court judges or the High Court? All defenses raised by the Minister of Law are baseless,” Satheani said.
Solving the article praised Lok Ayukta two years ago, the opposition leader said that the minister’s chairman, in his article in Chintha Weekly, has found Lok Ayukta acting as a passion and a powerful tool against corruption, but when a case against him came to Lok Ayukta, he had decided to make it non-toxic.
“This amendment is only the government’s attitude that it can do anything because it is re-elected,” he said.
