General19872 sections

The Andhra Pradesh Lokayukta and Upa Lokayukta (Amendment) Act, 1987, updates the statutory framework governing the appointment of anti-corruption ombudsmen within the state of Andhra Pradesh. By amending Section 3 of the original legislation, the law refines the legal qualifications, selection procedures, and structural requirements for appointing the Lokayukta and Upa-Lokayukta. It applies directly to public servants, government officials, and the administrative bodies subject to anti-corruption oversight. This amendment matters because establishing clear, robust criteria for appointing these independent anti-corruption officers helps maintain government integrity, curb public sector malpractices, and promote transparent governance for citizens.
