CIVIL-CATS
The Jan Lokpal Bill (Hindi: जन लोकपाल विधेयक), also referred to as the Citizen’s Ombudsman Bill, is a proposed anti-corruption law in India. It was proposed by prominent civil society activists as a more effective improvement to the original Lokpal bill, which is currently being proposed by the the Government of India. The prefix Jan was added to signify the fact that these improvements include input provided by “ordinary citizens” through an activist-driven, non-governmental public consultation.
Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde (former Supreme Court Judge and former Lokayukta of Karnataka), Prashant Bhushan (Supreme Court Lawyer) and Arvind Kejriwal (RTI activist), the draft Bill to regard a system where a corrupted person found guilty would go to jail within two years of the complaint being made and his ill-gotten wealth being impounded. It also seeks power to the Jan Lokpal Bill to prosecute all politicians and bureaucrats without government permission and intimation.
