The Gujarat High Court today appeared to be divided on the appointment of Lokayukta by the Governor with one judge upholding it and another indicating disagreement with fellow judge. Dismissing the state government's petition challenging the appointment of Justice R N Mehta as the Lokayukta by Governor Kamla Beniwal on August 25, Justice Akil Qureshi rejected the government's contention that the Governor acted without the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers.The judge maintained that this argument cannot be held right in this case as it was a peculiar case.But the other judge on the division bench, Justice Sonia Gokani, said, that there was not complete agreement with the fellow judge. She started reading out her judgement but did not complete it when the court rose for the day. Justice Sonia Gokani would continue tomorrow.In his order, Justice Qureshi said the post of Lokayukta was lying vacant for the last 8 years and there was a deadlock between the Chief Justice (of the High Court) and Chief Minister on the name of Justice Mehta.Justice Qureshi said, when the Chief Justice suggested Justice Mehta's name, the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers rejected Mehta's name. Justice Qureshi said, there was a deadlock between the two and in such a stage the opinion of the Chief Justice of High Court is supreme.
