The Rajasthan Lokayukta and Up-Lokayuktas (Amendment) Act, 2019

Language

General20193 sections

This Act amends the Rajasthan Lokayukta and Up-Lokayuktas Act of 1973 to shorten the term of the Lokayukta from eight years to five years. It ensures a smoother transfer of power by clarifying that the Lokayukta in office at the start of a specific 2019 ordinance hands over their duties immediately. The legislation also repeals a temporary ordinance issued at the same time, confirming that all previous actions taken under the amended terms remain valid. This change aims to prevent corruption and maintain accountability by limiting the duration of statutory appointments.
