Lokayukta or an Uplokayukta enjoys the same powers as that of a civil court under the code of Civil Procedure, 1908 which includes summoning the person, checking any public record or request copy from any court or office and issuing commissions for the examination of witnesses or documents [REF].
The State Government, by a notification published in the gazette, can confer additional powers for specific investigations to the office of the Lokayukta[REF] and can even allow them to make new rules for the same [REF].
