BILL
LOK SABHA
The Law Commission
vide its 166th Report recommended enactment of "The
Corrupt Public Servants (Forfeiture of Property) Bill, which was
examined in a consultation with legal experts who have expressed
their opinion that instead of enacting separate legislation, it
would be appropriate if the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988
is amended in such a way so as to make it more deterrent. It was
felt that it would be a better way to achieve the objective of
rooting out corruption.
This information
was given by the Union Minister of Law and Justice, Shri K. Jana
Krishnamurthi in a written reply to a question from S/Shri Shriniwas
Patil and Kodikunnil Suresh in the Lok Sabha today.
