Supreme Court Asks Search Panel To Recommend Names For Lokpal In 6 Weeks

The Supreme Court has asked the search committee on Lokpal to recommend a panel of names for appointment of the country's first anti-corruption watchdog by February end. Noting that the search committee, which was constituted in September last year had its first meeting only on January 16, Chief Justice Gogoi pulled up the centre and asked Attorney General KK Venugopal, "Why does everything happen when the court is to hear the matter?"
