The Bill, which provides for inclusion of leader of the single largest opposition party in the Lok Sabha, was referred to the parliamentary standing committee on personnel, public grievances and law and justice, after being introduced in the Lok Sabha during the winter session of 2014.
The department of personnel and training, in a note dated January 30 on the status of applications received for the post of Lokpal chairman and members, recalled that the search committee rules were amended in August last year, to change the composition of the Lokpal search committee from an eight-member body to a seven-member one. Also, the new rules allowed the search committee greater autonomy in short-listing of names for Lokpal chairperson/members to be considered by the Lokpal selection panel.
While noting that quorum of the selection committee was incomplete in the absence of a recognised Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, the DoPT pointed out the government had introduced the Lokpal & Lokayuktas and other related law (Amendment), Bill in the Lok Sabha on December 18 to include leader of the single largest opposition party in the Lok Sabha in the selection panel. The Bill was subsequently referred to the department-related parliamentary standing committee on personnel.
"The constitution of the search committee by the selection committee and other steps towards the selection of chairperson and members in Lokpal, as per the amended rules, can be processed only after the said Bill is passed in Parliament," the DoPT stated.
The UPA government had constituted the Lokpal search committee ahead of general election 2014, naming justice (retd) KT Thomas as its chairperson and Kaki Madhava Rao, Fali S Nariman, prof Meenakshi Gopinath, HK Dua, Mrinal Mir, S Y Quraishi and ML Kumawat as members. Thomas and Nariman, however, declined to be part of the search panel.
