The sources at the Office of the Goa Lokayukta informed ‘The Navhind Times’ that the first day witnessed two cases being taken up by Justice (retd) Misra, one pertaining to the dual citizenship issue and another one about registration of sale deeds without jurisdiction. The sources further said that the hearing on all pending cases would continue here onwards, with the state Lokayukta taking up, on an average two cases per day.
As per the Goa Lokayukta Act, after investigation of the complaints by the state Lokayukta, if any complaint involving an allegation is substantiated either wholly or partly, the state Lokayukta will send a related report in writing to the competent authority, within a period of ninety days from the date of the completion of inquiry, communicating his findings and recommendations, as far as possible along with the relevant documents, materials, and other evidence. Furthermore, a copy of the report would be submitted to the government.
