UP Governor refers Lokayukta Bill to President 
Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik on Friday referred the state's Lokayukta bill to President Pranab Mukherjee on reportedly finding that it ends the role of the Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court in the Lokayukta's selection. The new committee proposed in the Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill, 2015 excludes the Chief Justice, which is contrary to the Central Act.
