Lokayukta Amendment Bill

The Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Saturday passed the Uttar Pradesh Lift and Escalator Bill, 2024 and Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta and Up-Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill, 2024.

The West Bengal Assembly passed the Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill, 2018, keeping the chief minister out of its purview in matters relating to public order.

A bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha today to amend the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 to enable the leader of the single largest opposition party in the house being made a member of the committee that would select the ombudsman.

The amended Lokpal Bill, which delinks the Central government from creation of state Lokayuktas, was today approved by the Union Cabinet, paving the way for its consideration by Parliament.

Gandhian activist Anna Hazare today rejected the new draft of the Lokpal Bill with amendments proposed by the central government and announced that he would continue his fight for the Jan Lokpal Bill.

The Union Cabinet will discuss the amendments to the Lokpal Bill on Thursday. The Cabinet will discuss the key amendments proposed to the bill by the Select Committee of the Rajya Sabha, where the bill is pending since last year.

The Cabinet is likely to consider giving post-facto approval to official amendments - including the one on delinking the formation of Lokayukta in states from the central bill - to the much-debated Lokpal Bill, on Thursday.

The Himachal Pradesh Assembly on Friday passed the HP Lokayukta Bill, 2012, in the amended form with incorporation of an additional clause, empowering Lokayukta with powers of contempt of court at par with the High Court.

As the blame-game continues over the midnight mayhem in Parliament over the Lokpal Bill, the main opposition party, the BJP, has said that it would have supported the Constitution Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha had the Congress clarified on the contentious issue of the Lokayuktas.

As the government preps for a tough battle in the Rajya Sabha over the anti-corruption Lokpal Bill, the focal point of its concern is a key partner, Mamata Banerjee. She wants 14 pages of the bill which deal with Lokayuktas or anti-corruption agencies at the state level to be dropped because she believes this section violates the autonomy of states...

As the Parliament debate on the Lokpal Bill entered its final phase, the government was gearing up to move a series of amendments to the bill to reflect the opinions of large opposition parties like the BJP and key allies like Mamata Banerjee and the DMK.
