BJP urges Kerala Governor to block former judge Joseph’s ombudsman appointment, citing legal ineligibility.
The BJP has urged Kerala's Governor to block the appointment of former judge Justice Babu Mathew P. Joseph as Ombudsman for local self-government, arguing it violates the Kerala Lok Ayukta Act, 1999, which bars former Lok Ayukta or Upa Lok Ayukta from holding subsequent government offices of profit.
The party contends the Ombudsman role, with government funding and statutory duties, qualifies as such an office, making Joseph ineligible.
BJP leaders submitted a petition to the Governor, warning the appointment would be legally flawed and could face judicial challenge.
The decision remains pending.
