New Delhi : The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Central government to implement the Lokpal Act while saying that there is no justification for holding it in abeyance.
The apex court passed the judgment while hearing a plea filed by an NGO, Common Cause.
The apex court had earlier slammed the Central government for not appointing the Lokpal in an expeditious manner.
Earlier this month, Congress leader K.C. Venugopal filed a privilege notice against Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, accusing him of misguiding on the Lokpal bill that is pending with the standing committee in the Lok Sabha.–PTI
