Haryana Lokayukta to Conduct Proceedings via Video Calls

Haryana's Lokayukta, the anti-corruption watchdog, will use video calls for its meetings.

This aligns with the state government's plan to use more technology.

The decision follows new central criminal laws and Supreme Court guidelines.

These encourage video conferencing for proceedings, as stated in Section 336 and 530 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

The Supreme Court also supports this practice.

A directive has been issued by the government to ensure compliance.
