STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta and Up-Lokayuktas Act, 1975 (U.P.Act no. 42 of 1975) has been enacted to make provision for the appointment and functions of certain authorities for the investigation of grievances and allegations against Ministers, legislators and other public servants in certain cases and for matters connected therewith and incidental thereto.

Initially, the term of office of Lokayukta and Up-Lokayukta was five years. Due to certain special circumstances and in the interest of work, the term of office of Lokayukta and Up-Lokayukta was increased to eight years vide the Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta and Up-Lokayuktas (Amendment) Act,2012. After due consideration of the currently fixed tenure of Lokayukta and Up-Lokayuktas it was found that the tenure of 8 years is excessive from the point of view of physical and mental health. It was also noted that the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 (Act no. 1 of 2014) provides for the tenure of Lokpal to be five years or the age of seventy years, whichever is earlier.

In view of the above, it has been decided to amend section 5 of the aforesaid Act to provide that every person appointed as Lokayukta or Up-Lokayukta shall hold office for a term of five years or upto the age of seventy years, whichever is earlier.

The Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta and Up-Lokayuktas (Amendment) Bill, 2024 is introduced accordingly.
