In order to redress the grievances of the citizens which were pouring more in
number, the Administrative Reforms Commission, appointed by the Union Government
in 1966, recommended the constitution of the Institutions of Lok Ayukta and
Upa-Loka yukta, taking a clue from the Institution like OMBUDSMAN in the
Scandinavian countries. In the light of those recommendations, the Institutions of Lok
Ayukta were established in various States of our country with jurisdiction to deal with
complaints not only against elective public servants, but also against the other categories
of public servants defined in the Act.
In Andhra Pradesh, the A.P. Lok Ayukta Act 11 of 1983 came into force with
effect from 1-11-1983 and this Institution started functioning from 15-11-1983 and since
then this Institution has been able to march forward as an effective instrument in the
hands of the public for curbing the evil of corruption and maladministration.
The most prominent features of the Institution of Lokayukta in this State are:
i) Independence from Executive Control;
ii) Informal procedure and easy accessibility to complaints; and
iii) Almost free and prompt services to the citizens.
The matters and actions of Public servants, which can form the subject matter of
the complaint to the Institution of Lokayukta and Upa-Lokayukta, are:
1) Any administrative action involving abuse of power for personal gain or to
harm any one;
2) Administrative actions motivated by improper or corrupt motives causing loss
to the State or to any person; and
3) All actions involving outright corruption or lack of integrity.
There are three modes for the Lokayukta and the Upa-Lokayukta to act for taking
up investigation of Administrative actions of the nature as stated above.
Firstly, any citizen or aggrieved person can make a complaint. Secondly, the
Lokayukta and Upa-Lokayukta suo-moto can take up investigation on the basis of
information received by him otherwise than by way of complaints like newspapers,
reports, etc. Thirdly, the Lokayukta or Upa-Lokayukta can act on a reference from the
Governor.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration of the Institution is under the charge of the Registrar who is
declared as the Head of the Department. The administrative structure consists of four
wings viz., (1) Administration, (2) Judicial, (3) Legal and (4) Investigation.
…contd..2..
1. ADMINISTRATION WING:
The Registrar, with the assistance of the Deputy Registrar, supervises the
Administrative Wing, which consists of the Establishment and Accounts Section. The
Establishment Section is headed by a Section Officer and it deals with the work relating
to Conditions of Service of the Employees, Library, Stores, Furniture, Maintenance of
Motor Vehicles, Stationery, Roneo, Inward, Dispatch, etc. The Accounts Section
functions under the supervision of an Assistant Registrar, who is assisted by an Accounts
Officer and other staff, and deals with financial matters such as budget, salary, T.A., and
other related matters.
2. JUDICIAL WING:
For the sake of convenience, the Bench of the Hon’ble Lokayukta is identified as
B-1 and that of the Hon’ble Upa-Lokayukta as B-2. The Complaints Section receives the
complaints, scrutinizes the same and registers the complaints for placing them before the
Hon’ble Lokayukta. This Section is headed by the Assistant Registrar, who is assisted by
a Section Officer and other staff members. After registration of complaints, the
complaints are taken up by the staff of the B-1 Section and B-2 Section respectively,
headed by the Section Officers, with supporting staff.
Besides, the Special Category Stenographers would assist in taking down dictation of the
orders on Bench of the Hon’ble Lokayukta and Hon’ble Upa-Lokayukta. This apart,
there is usual Process Sections separately for B-1 and B-2 sections to process
the files as per the orders of the Hon’ble Lokayukta and Hon’ble Upa-Lokayukta and
Dispatch the letters, notices, memos etc., to the concerned with the support of
Dispatching Assistant.
3. LEGAL WING:
Legal Wing consists of Director (Legal) and Deputy Director (Legal). Both assist
the Hon’ble Lokayukta and the Hon’ble Upa-Lokayukta respectively, in all legal matters
such as processing the reports received and presenting them before the Court and render
assistance to the complainants in conducting the proceedings. Even if a complainant is
not having the legal assistance, that deficiency is filled up by the Legal Wing. The
Director (Legal) and the Deputy Director (Legal) also perform the duties of Presenting
Officers in the Courts and would assist in conducting final investigation by the Hon’ble
Lokayukta and Hon’ble Upa-Lokayukta by way of submitting Written Comments,
Written Briefs, etc., during the preliminary verification stage and draft statement of
allegations, etc., when it reaches the final investigation stage.
4. INVESTIGATION WING:
The Director (Investigation), who is of the rank of Inspector General of Police, is
heading this wing with the assistance of (4) Deputy Directors, (5) Investigating Officers
and (13) Police Constables. This Agency probes into such of the complaints that are
referred to it, by the Hon’ble Lokayukta and Hon’ble Upa-Lokayukta and after collecting
the necessary material by conducting discreet enquiries, submit a report, which is of
immense help in determining as to whether it is a fit case to investigate into the allegation
levelled in the complaints or otherwise. This agency maintains the confidentiality and
secrecy of information during the discreet enquiry and conducts the probe impartially.
ACCOMMODATION
15 P.A. to Registrar Attend the dictation work and other duties as entrusted by
the Registrar.
26 Record Assistant Assist the concerned Asst. Section Officers. and Section
Officers in day to day work.
27 Roneo Operator Attend the Roneo Operator work and also Xerox work.
On receiving a complaint, the complaint section prepares scrutiny notes and place
the complaints before the Hon’ble Lokayukta for distribution of complaints to Hon’ble
Lokayukta and Hon’ble Upa-Lokayukta. The Hon’ble Lokayukta will pass appropriate
orders allotting complaints to Hon’ble Lokayukta and Hon’ble Upa-Lokayukta to
undertake preliminary verification by whatever mode suitable, to ascertain if there is a
prima-facie case in the allegations. The initial probe and verification may be done by
calling for reports from the concerned authorities or by entrusting the matter to the
Investigation Agency of this Institution, which may conduct a discreet probe and submit a
report to the Lokayukta or Upa-Lokayukta. At this stage, probing or enquiry is
confidential to safeguard the identity of the apprehensive complaints and to protect the
reputation of the public servants complained against.
Once a prima-facie case is held to have been made out, a regular enquiry
(Investigation) is conducted after giving opportunity to the complainant as well as the
public servant complained against, to put forth their versions and to adduce their
evidence. This enquiry is on the lines of a trial in a court in which parties are permitted
to be represented by their lawyers.
On the basis of such evidence, if the Lokayukta or the Upa-Lokayukta finds that
the allegations against the public servant have been substantiated, either wholly or partly,
a report has to be made to the competent authority under Sec.12 of the Act,
communicating him findings and recommendations.
The Competent Authority, on receipt of the report, shall take action on the
recommendation, including removal of the guilty public servant wherever recommended,
without any further enquiry and intimate within three months of the date of receipt of the
report, to the Institution of Lok Ayukta, the action taken or proposed to be taken on the
basis of the report. In the event the Lok Ayukta or Upa-Lok Ayukta is not satisfied with
the action taken or proposed to be taken by the Competent Authority, he may make a
special report upon the case to the Governor and also inform the complainant
accordingly. On receipt of a special report, the Governor shall cause a copy thereof,
together with an explanatory memorandum, to be laid before each House of the State
Legislative.
