The Lokayukta (also Lok Ayukta) is an anti-corruption ombudsman organization in the Indian states[1][2].
The Administrative Reforms Commission(ARC) headed by Morarji Desai submitted a special interim report on "Problems of Redressal of Citizen's Grievances' in 1966. In this report, the ARC recommended the setting up of two special authorities designated as 'Lokpal' and 'Lokayukta' for the redressal of citizens' grievances.
The LokAyukta helps people bring corruption to the fore mainly amongst the politicians and officers in the government service. It is to be noted that the LokAyukta conducts raids. But surprisingly, it does not have binding powers to punish anyone.[3] Owing to this, many acts of the LokAyukta have not resulted in criminal or other consequences for those charged.[4]
