Who is the head of the three members lok ayukta search commitee?
Answers
The selection committee meeting held at the secretariat was attended by chief minister Edappadi K Palanisami and assembly speaker P Dhanapal. Leader of the opposition M K Stalin boycotted the meeting alleging that the Lokayukta being set up in the state is toothless.
“Justice Venkataraman was chosen as chief of the search panel since he has years of judicial experience. Based on his recommendations, the selection committee will take a final decision on appointing a Lokayukta and other members,” said a senior official.
Former advocate general R Krishnamoorthy and former IPS officer A Pari are the other members of the search committee.
When contacted by TOI, Justice (retd) Venkataraman said he would go by rules in recommending names. “If I have a name before me, I will get all details about the person. After proper checking, I will recommend the name to the selection committee,” he said.
