This is a comparison that is posted by a think -tank called Research Foundation for Governance in India.
The Lokpal will be a three-member body with a chairperson who is or was a chief justice or Supreme Court judge, and two members who are or have been high courts judges or chief justices. For 42 years, governments have tried to put in place the law. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up. Anyone, except for a public servant , can file a complaint and the Lokpal has to complete the inquiry within six months.
But there are stark differences between the government's version of the Lokpal Bill and the civil society's.
Government’s Version
The Appointment Committee will have the Vice President, Prime Minister, Leaders of Both the houses from ruling and opposition party
To initiate actions against the ministers, necessary to take a permission of the speakers of both the houses as well as the Prime Minister
CVC or CBI will be independent of Lokpal
Lokpal will not have any police powers and it will not be able to register an FIR
Lokpal won't have powers to investigate any case against PM, which deals with foreign affairs, security and defence
Lokpal will not have jurisdiction over bureaucrats and government officers
Hazare’s Version
The Appointment Committee will have the CAG, prominent legal experts, Chief Election Commission and individuals who have received Nobel and Magsaysay awards
To initiate actions against the ministers, including the Prime Minister necessary to take a permission of the Lokpal or Lokayukta. Lokpal can also take its own action
CVC or CBI under the authority of Lokpal at Centre and Lokayukta in State
Lokpal will have police powers and would be able to register FIR, proceed with criminal investigations and launch prosecution
Lokpal will have powers to investigate any case against PM, which deals with foreign affairs, security and defence
Lokpal will have jurisdiction over politicians, officials and even judges. It will have the entire vigilance machinery into Lokpal
This is just an outline. There are many more intricate differences but all the major ones have been covered.

no one should be above law . when there is a law it should be followed strictly.the biggest culprits are the enforcement agencies how let them of their hook.and their command is in the hands of corrupt politicians .therefore such an official infrastructure should be fabricated so that will manage country
ReplyDeleteanna hazare is great but annaji plzzzzzzzz dont give warnings to governments its not correct ............ go in gandhi policy
ReplyDeleteCorruption can be removed by public and govt. not by oppertunist politicians like "Anna". He is trying to topple the govt. by picking the 'right topic at wrong time'. When world's economy depends upon Indian economy,he's paralysing Indian economy by fanning unrest at the wrong time, this will only tarnish India's image on the world platform. 'Anna' your true face will comeout very soon.
ReplyDeletei think anna is doing good because majority of the ministers are corrupted.
