The Gujarat government has rejected Justice (retd) R A Mehta as Lokayukta as
suggested by Chief Justice of the HC and Leader of Opposition and
recommended by Governor Kamala Beniwal.

The office has been lying vacant for nine years.

Opposition leader Shaktisinh Gohil said the Chief Justice suggested Justice
Mehta after Justice (retd) S D Dave, expressed his unwillingness to take up
the job.

“I conveyed my consent to Governor. She too cleared Justice Mehta’s name and
sent the recommendation it to the government. But the government has not
done it,” Gohil said.

When contacted, state Law Minister Dilip Sanghani said, “The state
government has to choose an objective person and nobody can insist it choose
a certain individual. The Governor can only recommend a name,” he said.
