GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.K.J.MOHAMMED ANZAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.13729 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners have been summoned by the Lok Ayukta in a complaint filed by the 2 nd respondent herein. Since the petitioners did not appear, the Lok Ayukta issued warrant of arrest, although the counsel for the petitioners were present before the Lok Ayukta. The petitioners also contend that the complaint itself is not maintainable. I am of opinion that all these matters can be agitated by the petitioners before the Lok Ayukta after appearing before the Lok Ayukta. The counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners would appear before the Lok Ayukta on the next posting date. If the petitioners appear before the Lok Ayukta on the next posting date, the warrant of arrest would not be executed. It would be open to the petitioners to raise all their contentions including the objection regarding maintainability before the Lok Ayukta after appearing before the Lok Ayukta The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
