JUDGES

SC&H

C

No FIR can be registered against any Supreme Court or High Court

judge without the permission of Chief Justice of India.

It has been seen in the past that the Chief Justice of India tries to

protect his own fraternity of judges and rarely gives such a

permission.

Under Jan Lokpal Bill, the full bench of Lokpal will give permission to file a case against any judge.

No permission will be required from Chief Justice of India. Therefore, corruption in higher

judiciary will also be checked through Jan Lokpal Bill.

Whistleblowe

rs

Currently, people who report corrupt practices or raise their voice

against corruption are being threatened, victimized and even

murdered. There is no protection for them.

Jan Lokpal and Jan Lokayukta will be responsible for providing the whistleblowers, whether inside

or outside the government, protection from:

- Professional threat or victimisation

- Physical threat or victimisation

SYSTEM

EVID

ENCE

In the current system, if anyone obtains

any benefit from the government illegally, it

is difficult to prove that the person did so

by paying bribes

If a person obtains any benefit from the government in

violation of a law or rules and regulations, that person along

with concerned public servants shall be deemed to have

indulged in corrupt practices.

ultipleAnti-Corruption

Agencies

Presently there are multiple anti-corruption agencies like:

CBI, CVC, ACB, state vigilance department

All these are controlled by corrupt officials and politicians

and are ineffective.

At central govt level, anti-corruption branch of CBI, CVC and all internal

vigilance wings of all dept should be merged into Jan Lokpal.

At state level, anti-corruption branch of state police, the state vigilance

department, internal vigilance wings of all departments and existing Lokayuktas

in states should be merged into Jan Lokayukta of that state.

This will do away with multiplicity of anti-corruption agencies.
