1/4

Organizational Structure & Working proposed by

Govt Lokpal Bill & Jan Lokpal Bill

How to interpret the Lokpal Flow Charts:

Red arrows show Inputs and outputs.Both the charts show inputs i.e. Citizens Complaints asred arrows. They also show the outputs i.e. action taken against corrupt public servants as redarrows. The only aim of our inputs is to get outputs. We write complaints only because

we want action against Corrupt officials.

Blue arrows show internal processes of Lokpal and Courts.Once the complaint goes to JanLokpal, a chain of events happens inside the mechanism of Lokpal. Directions are given to

Investigation Wing, Investigation Wing presents preliminary evidence to Lokpal bench, Lokpal

Bench directs the Prosecution Wing to file chargesheet against the accused, etc. Some events

happen between Lokpal and external agencies such as Police e.g. Police is directed to search

and seize documents.

The arrows are numbered to show sequence of events. The citizens complaint is event no. 1 the trigger. The final events are directions given by Lokpal for Departmental Action against

the public servant, or the Special Courts judgment against public servant. This may be shown

as event no. 5.

Friends, the above flow-charts are only indicative. They are not exhaustive, and therefore, they do

not enable us to compare ALL the salient features of the two systems.

To study the merits and demerits of each system, read: http://tinyurl.com/Jan-Lokpal-versus-Govt-Lokpal

The main points of comparison and observations are in the right-hand column. If you disagree with

the observations, please read the sections of each Bill in the middle columns, and draw your own

conclusions.

This is a crucial issue of our times. Please apply your mind and form your own opinions. Dont let

other people or the media do your thinking for you.

Warm Regards,
