This question came
to my mind because I went thru a news item saying that so called Social activist Nutan Thakur lodged a
criminal case against Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta - Justice (Retd.) N K Mehrotra
before additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJM) in Lucknow last Thursday.
The news feature said that the ACJM registered her complaint and fixed
September 10, 2015 as the date for recording Thakur’s statement in the case
under Section 200 of CrPC under sections 166, 167, 195, 195A, 196, 200, 211,
219, 500 of IPC.

“Law is blind” has been proved once again in this
case as ACJM has accepted the
complaint despite there being a legal bar in accepting any such complaint
against Lokayukta.As per SECTION- 17 of THE UTTAR PRADESH LOKAYUKTA AND
UP-LOKAYUKTA ACT-1975, which deals with protection clause :
|
|
(1) No suit,
prosecution or other legal proceeding shall lie against the Lokayukta or the
Up-Lokayukta or against any officer, employee, agency or person referred to
in section 14 in respect of anything which in good faith done or intended to
be done under this Act.
(2) No proceeding of the Lokayukta or the Up-Lokayukta
shall be held bad for want of form and except on the ground of jurisdiction,
no proceedings or decision of the Lokayukta or the Up-Lokayukta shall be
liable to be challenged, reviewed, quashed or called in question in any court.
So its clear that this so called Thakur couple has now resorted
to this illegal move with the sole aim to safeguard their ill-earned vast real
estate empire. Needless to say that such acts of Thakur couple are delivering
no good to the society but demeaning the dignity of high office of Lokayukta.
If thakurs are honest,why they are afraid of enquiries
to the extent that they are moving everyday to the courts just to get these
inquiries stalled?
However, as a responsible citizen, I shall be presenting
these facts, including the relevant
sections of lokayukta act to the court of ACJM/CJM tomorrow i.e. on 10th
September 2015 during hearing of this case.
