The Report includes 10 Dissent Notes from 17 Members of Parliament (MPs). (a) Kirti Azad, Bal Apte, D.B. Chandre Gowda, Harin Pathak, Arjun Ram Meghwal, and Madhusudan Yadav. (b) Ram Jethmalani (c) Ram Vilas Paswan (d) Shailendra Kumar (e) Prasanta Kumar Majumdar (f) Pinaki Misra (g) A. Sampath (h) S. Semmalai (i) Meenakshi Natrajan, P.T. Thomas, and Deepa Dasmunshi (j) Vijay Bahadur Singh Comparison of the Lok Pal Bill, 2011 and the Standing Committee Report on the Lok Pal Bill Issues Lok Pal Bill Standing Committee recommendations Dissent from MPs (if any) Grievance Redressal Mechanism Inclusion of the Prime Minister Not included Clause 17(1)(a): Lok Pal can inquire into complaints against the Prime Minister once he demits There should be a separate mechanism to deal with Grievance Redressal and Citizen s Charter. A separate law must be enacted for the purpose, which should be applicable to all states subject to Constitutional validity. It should provide guidance to citizens on procedural matters; acknowledge a citizen s communication within a fixed time-frame; and may exclude certain services, which have supply constraints such as power, water etc. The proposed mechanism should have the same Constitutional status as the Lok Pal. There are different views on the subject: PM should be altogether excluded; PM should be altogether included; The Grievance Redressal Mechanism should be included in the present proposed law. Lok Pal could be a forum for a second appeal on limited number of issues (Kirti Azad etc). Citizen s Charter and Public Grievance Mechanism should be included in the text of the Bill (Ram Jethmalani). Citizen s Charter should be included in the Lok Pal Bill The central government should give full financial support to poorer states such as Odisha to set up grievance redressal mechanisms (Pinaki Misra). PM should not be given immunity except for subjects related to national security and public order (Kirti Azad etc).
2 office. PM should be included after he demits office; (d) PM should be included with exceptions for national security, foreign affairs, atomic energy and space; PM should be included subject to clearance for his prosecution by both Houses of Parliament in a joint sitting. Since each option has its own merits and demerits, the Committee leaves this decision to the wisdom of Parliament. PM should be brought under Lok Pal except for subjects related to national security, nuclear, defence, and foreign policy PM should be within the jurisdiction of the Lok Pal (Prasanta Kumar Majumdar). PM should be within the ambit of Lok Pal with some exceptions related to space, atomic energy, and national security. Also, the Lok Pal must decide whether to investigate or prosecute a PM with at least a 3/4 th majority (Pinaki Misra). PM should be brought within purview of the Lok Pal (A. Sampath). Vote and Speech of MPs in the House Clause 17(2): The Lok Pal does not have jurisdiction over the vote or speech of any MP in Parliament or Committees. The Constitutional safeguards given to MPs under Art 105 are sacrosanct and time-tested. Therefore, the existing structure should remain. Corrupt practices of MPs are not given immunity. No immunity should be provided to an MP s conduct outside the House (Kirti Azad etc). Exemption for MPs should not extend to acts of corruption. Article 105 of the Constitution should be amended as per the recommendation of the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution (A. Sampath). Inclusion of State Lokayukta Not included There should be a single, comprehensive central law dealing with Lok Pal and state Lokayuktas. This would ensure uniformity in standards for prosecution of public servants across the country. The states should retain the power to constitute Lokayuktas. The formation of Lokayuktas through a central legislation strikes at the roots of the federal concept enshrined in the Constitution (S. Semmalai). A separate chapter would have to be inserted providing for state specific issues. It is constitutionally valid to do so because the Act seeks to implement the UN Convention on Corruption ratified by India. Inclusion of lower bureaucracy Clause 17(1)(d): The Lok Pal has jurisdiction over Group A officers and persons of equivalent ranks in public sector undertakings and other government bodies. The Lok Pal shall cover Group A and Group B officers. Group C and Group D officers should be covered under the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). The CVC should file periodic reports to the Lok Pal in respect of action taken for Group C and D officers. There should be no requirement for sanctions for any All public servants holding civil posts should be included (Kirti Azad etc). Inclusion of Group A and B officers (as well as corporate, private NGOs and media) would spawn a massive Lok Pal bureaucracy and also destroy existing institutions such as the CVC, CBI and internal vigilance apparatus. It would also paralyse government
3 False and frivolous complaints Inclusion of judiciary Search and Selection Process Clause 49(1): The penalty for filing false and frivolous or vexatious complaints is imprisonment for two to five years and a fine between Rs 25,000 and Rs 2 lakh. groups of employees.

Lok Pal should cover Group A, B, C and D employees (A. Sampath). Group C officers should be under the Lok Pal (Meenakshi Natrajan etc).

Where the President does not refer a citizen s petition for removal of the Lok Pal for inquiry to the Supreme Court, the President should record reasons for not doing so. The Supreme Court should be empowered to impose heavy fine in case a false or frivolous complaint is made against the Chairman or member of the Lok Pal.
