an independent body.
• It would have the power to prosecute bureaucrats
• The bill was drafted by former IPS officer, Kiran Bedi, Shanti
Bhushan, Justice N. Santosh Hedge, Advocate Prashant Bhushan and
former chief election commisioner J.M. Lyngdoh .
• The first Lokpal Bill was passed in 1969 but failed to get through Rajya
Sabha for coming 42 years.

26. Keeping the features of proposed Jan Lokpal Bill in mind, can we really
“ensure” the continuation of anti-corruption machinery?
Can we “ensure” honest officials for keeping the committee clean and
genuinely helping common man?
What is India’s future with the Jan Lokpal Bill?
