Answers
The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to as the Citizen's Ombudsman Bill, was a failed anti-corruption bill drawn up by some civil society activists in India seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body to investigate corruption cases.
Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde (former Supreme Court Judge and former Lokayukta of Karnataka), Prashant Bhushan (Supreme Court Lawyer) and Arvind Kejriwal (Now CM of Delhi). the draft Bill suggess a system where a corrupt person found guilty would go to jail within two years of the complaint being made and his ill-gotten wealth being confiscated. It also seeks power to the Jan Lokpal to prosecute politicians and bureaucrats without government permission.
Retired IPS officer Kiran Bedi and other known people like Swami Agnivesh, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Anna Hazare and Mallika Sarabhai are also part of the movement
The movement gained momentum from 5 April 2011, when anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare began a hunger strike at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
Later on the government has introduced its weaker version in Parliament. Team Anna is up in arms and calls the government version the "Joke Pal Bill."
The Jan Lokpal aimed to deter corruption, compensate citizen grievances, and protect whistle-blowers. The prefix Jan (translation: citizens) signifies that these improvements include inputs provided by "ordinary citizens" through an activist-driven, non-governmental public consultation.
The word Lokpal was coined in 1963 by L. M. Singhvi, a member of parliament during a debate.
Some important features of the bill are:
To establish a central government anti-corruption institution called Lokpal, supported by Lokayukta at the state level.
As is the case with the Supreme Court of India and Cabinet Secretariat, the Lokpal will be supervised by the Cabinet Secretary and the Election Commission. As a result, it will be completely independent of the government and free from ministerial influence in its investigations.
Members will be appointed by judges, Indian Administrative Service officers with a clean record, private citizens and constitutional authorities through a transparent and participatory process.
A selection committee will invite short-listed candidates for interviews, the video recordings of which will thereafter be made public.
Inquiry has to be completed within 60 days and investigation to be completed within six months. Lokpal shall order an investigation only after hearing the public servant.
Losses to the government by a corrupt individual will be recovered at the time of conviction.
Whistle-blowers who alert the agency to potential corruption cases will also be provided with protection.
