Justice Mehta says he won’t respond to Gujarat HC notice

“I am not going to respond to the high court notice,” the former judge told reporters after inaugurating a painting exhibition here.

When asked if he was bound to respond to the notice,he said,”Not necessary.” He confirmed having received the notice,though.

“The Chief Justice (of Gujarat High Court) had taken my consent before nominating my name for Lokayukta,” Mehta said,when asked if Governor Kamla had taken his (Mehta’s) consent before appointing him.
