Anti corruption bureau has registered FIR against the government officer saying income from all sources (after substrating his expenditure)of the officer does not match the value of his property.

while the ACB case is active, the officer gets the inquiry notice from lokayukta. The questions asked in

Lokayukta has power of investigation any complaint which has come in their purview.

So both lokayukta and ACB can take action against officer for same complaint ?

In TT Antony v State of Kerala and there are various judgements by supreme court where it was held that there can be no second FIR where the information concerns the same cognisable offence alleged as in the first FIR,

So there can't be Second FIR and Prosecution on same allegations.
