Karnataka Upa Lokayukta, Justice R Gururajan resigns
"In these circumstances and in consultation with my family members and well-wishers, I have tendered my resignation," he said.
Justice S B Majige is the present Upa Lokayukta and Justice Gururajan was the second Upa Lokayukta appointed in July this year by former Karnataka Lokayukta Shivaraj Patil. His name was recommended by former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and the Governor had approved it.
Justice Shivaraj Patil had quit as Lokayukta on Sept 19 following a controversy over allotment of housing sites for him and his wife allegedly violating rules.
