The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to as the citizens' ombudsman bill, is a proposed

independent anti-corruption law in India.

Anti-corruption social activists proposed it as a more effective improvement to the

original Lokpal bill, which is currently being proposed by the Government of India.

The Jan Lokpal Bill aims to effectively deter corruption, redress grievances of

citizens, and protect whistle-blowers.

Chief Justice of India.

Under Jan Lokpal Bill, the full

bench of Lokpal will give

permission to file a case against

any judge.

Judges Supreme Court and High Court

Punishment

people convicted of corruptionranges from: 6 months to 7 years

of imprisonment which is

inadequate.

Whistle Blowers

Currently, people who report

corrupt practices or raise their

voice against corruption are being

threatened, victimized and evenmurdered. There is no protection

for them.

Jan Lokpal and Jan Lokayukta will

be responsible for providing the

whistleblowers, whether inside or

outside the government, protectionfrom:

Professional threat or

victimization

Physical threat or victimization

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 tohave indulged in corrupt practices.

Evidence

Multiple Anti-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.

All these agencies will be merged

into the Jan Lokpal. Which will doaway with the multiplicity of anti-

corruption agencies
