Hyderabad, March 31:A division bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday dismissed a revision petition filed by a senior IAS officer L.V. Subrahmanyam challenging the earlier orders of the High Court.
The petitioner sought a review of the earlier order of a division bench of the court that IAS officers come under the jurisdiction of the AP Lokayukta Act.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice A.R. Dave and Justice Ramesh Ranganathan dismissed the petition stating that "there is nothing in the order to show that the division bench is swayed by the allegations noted by the Lokayukta in complaint against the petitioner."
Mr Subrahmanyam contended that the bench has not considered the Constitutional validity of Section 7 and 2 of the AP Lok Ayukta Act.
The Lokayukta was an conducting inquiry against the officer on an issue which referred to the payment of Rs 11 crore to a firm called Vasishta Wahan for a deal to get a plant of the German car-maker Volkswagen to the state.
