Delhi cabinet clears Jan Lokpal Bill

November 18, 2015 19:14

The Delhi Cabinet on Wednesday cleared the much talked-about Jan Lokpal bill which provides for covering all public servants -- from chief minister to Group D employees -- and seeks life term as maximum punishment for those found guilty of corruption.

The bill provides for a legal right of protection to "honest" officials, whistleblowers and witnesses besides having provisions for time-bound investigation and trial of corruption cases.

The bill is likely to be tabled before the Delhi assembly next week.
