Karnataka Chief Justice Vikramjit Sen sought the cancellation of retired judge Chandrashekaraiah's appointment as Upa Lokayukta ( deputy ombudsman) as it has been made without consulting him.

Justice Sen says since he was not consulted, the appointment of Chandrashekaraiah (only one name), a retired judge of the Karnataka High Court, violates law and hence it should be annulled. The HC today ruled in his favour.
