Lopal Bill in India
Jan Lokpal Bill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with The Lokpal Bill, 2011, an anti-corruption bill pending before the parliament of India.
The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to the Citizen 's Ombudsman Bill, is an anti-corruption bill drafted and drawn up by civil society activists in India seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body to investigate corruption cases.[1] This bill also proposes improvements to the Lokpal and Lokayukta Bill 2011,[2] which was to be passed by Lok Sabha in December 2011.[3]
The Jan Lokpal Bill aims to effectively deter corruption, compensate citizen grievances, and protect whistle-blowers. The prefix Jan (translation: citizens) signifies that these improvements includes inputs provided by "ordinary citizens" through an activist-driven, non-governmental public consultation.[4]
