Lok Ayukta rejects a corruption case despite valid proof. What to do


20-Jan-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Dear Sir/Madam, One of my friends has recently filed a corruption case in the State Lok Ayukta of Andhra Pradesh against four state government officials who have misused their power and favoured a factory management unduly, causing a loss of about Rs.11 lakhs to the state exchequer of Andhra Pradesh. Though he has filed the case duly paying the fee and submitting all the documentary evidence and relevant G.O.s and explanation of the corrupt act of the above officials and has also prayed for investigation, the following is the order of the Lok Ayukta : "I do not see any grounds to take cognizance of this matter. Hence, rejected" We all know that living honestly in this country is very difficult, And, proving corruption in the system and is much more difficult (may be impossible some times). The very purpose of Institution of Lok Ayukta of a State is defeated. What can he do when our judiciary is ignoring and indirectly protecting the corrupt officials?

Lokayuktha is a independent body but has nothing to do with..It's only for a name to do justice to the poor..If you are going to file a corruption case,as we all know how corruption will work in the society,even the courts are it main part of playing, those who have money and political influence will win the race all the time as because of corrupted officias,as India is full of that kind of people,in a recent survey 80% of the people are willing to give bribe to officias in public for not to waste their time and energy,it's a waste thing of your energy and your time..Better to go in another way in which the corrupted official will fear after seeing you..

As per this query the officials corrupted for RS. 11 lakh by favoring to company management, the lokayuktha rejected your query as there's no ground to take cognigence, if the lokayuktha rejected on the same ground better to appeal.
