4. A commission of 3 retired judges
The government's version of Lokpal will consist of three retired judges. It does not give any justifiable reason as to why the selection should be restricted to judiciary alone. It's so obvious that vested interests will dominate the decision of the ruling government while choosing the members of Lokpal.

It also argues that the selection should be made by government, civil society members and judiciary.
