Government issues new Lokpal norms for search committees

New rules have omitted the restrictions for the search committee to recommend names

New Delhi: Relaxing the rules for the new Lokpal search committee, the government has issued a notification, that allows it to recommend names for chairperson and members of the anti-corruption body outside the list provided by the department of personnel and training.

The UPA government had earlier framed rules mandating the search committee to restrict itself in preparing a panel of persons to be considered by the Prime Minister-led selection panel for appointment as chairperson and members of the Lokpal, from among the list of persons given by the DoPT.

The new rules have omitted the restrictions for the search committee to recommend names.
