casestatus.in Summary

Summary: State of Punjab v. Lal Singh (C.A. 5488/2000) The Supreme Court disposed of Punjab's appeal challenging the High Court's quashing of Justice Harbans Singh Rai's appointment as Lokpal under the Punjab Lokpal Act, 1996. Since Rai was appointed in 1997 with a four-year term ending by 2001, the Court found the appointment issue infructuous and directed Punjab to make fresh Lokpal appointments per statutory procedure. The Court also noted the Government had already decided not to pursue further action on the reports filed by the previous Lokpal, rendering all prayers in the appeals and special leave petition moot.
