"The cabinet has recommended name of Justice P K Mishra as the Lokayukta for the state," Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar said after a meeting this afternoon.
He said the state government has already taken concurrence from Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court and Goa's Leader of Opposition, Pratapsingh Rane over the selection of Justice Mishra.
This consent is required as per Lokayukta Act, Parsekar said.
Justice Mishra is currently serving as President of Goa State Human Rights Commission.
Reddy was the first Lokayukta for the state and was sworn-in in March 2013.
