RAMA RAO vs LOKAYUKTA

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Sections 3, 4, 7, and 12 of the A.P. Lokayukta & Up-Lokayukta Act, 1983, affirming the Lokayukta's authority to investigate and take action against public servants under Section 7. The Court found that the Lokayukta had the jurisdiction to submit an interim report and that the petitioner was not entitled to a prior hearing before such action. The Court dismissed the special leave petitions, thereby affirming the High Court's decision.
