Prevention of corrupt practices is the one of the principle aims of the Indian Union. It is a well known fact that ombudsman played a stellar role in providing its version of Lokpal, acting as a watchdog to analyse corruption along with the public administration. Corruption increased at a feverish pace in 1960s, which led to the demand of the appointment of ombudsmen. A commission concerned with administrative reforms was created, which comprised of 2 members. Eminent lawyer Shanti Bhushan propounded the Jan Lokpal legislative bill.
Duties of Lokpal:

1. It is mandatory to verify allegations against a public servant including the government officials
2. Take important decision in cases according to the guidelines created in the constitution under the law.
3. Jan Lokpal would ascertain the authenticity of the charges levelled against the concerned person and take appropriate actions
4. People filing cases under wrong charges would be awarded punishment sentence
5. It can be financial penalty or rigorous imprisonment

1970s saw numerous attempts to introduce the Lokpal bill; however the initiative fell in Rajya Sabha. Since then it is left in a limbo. People have hotly debated about the nuts and bolts of the bill in present time. Currently law makers want P.M to be included under the ambit of anti corruption Law. According to the rules, cabinet ministers along with MPs would fall under the domain of the aforesaid law. Jan Lokpal bill stipulates that PM is also under the purview of current law making it highly impartial. The monitoring authority would demand the Supreme court of India to prescribe punishment for the convict, if found guilty. According to analysts, bill would act as a powerful deterrent against the corrupt people. It would help to remove the malaise from the psychology of the people, that they are handed injustice by the high and mighty.
