Loksabha passes Bill amending Section 44 of Lokpal Act

July 27, 2016 CAP INDIA, Legal news
This afternoon (Wednesday 27th July 2016) the Lok Sabha passed a Bill amending Section
44 of the Lokpal Act.  This is
the relevant section of the Act which requires disclosure of personal assets. 
Reportedly, the Bill was not circulated in advance, but, it
was passed without any discussion or debate.
We are informed that this issue will now be referred to the Parliamentary
Standing Committee for review.
We are still to obtain copy of the Bill. However, for the
moment, it appears that disclosure of assets need not be made before 31st
July 2016.
We will soon be back with a full update
