5. Legally unsound
The bill does not give any police powers to the Lokpal and therefore, it cannot register an FIR on any complaint. It can only conduct a preliminary enquiry. An aspect that makes it legally unsound, the government-proposed bill ensures that all enquiries conducted by Lokpal will be equal to preliminary enquiries where many questions such as - who will file the charge sheet in the court? Who will appoint the prosecution lawyer? Who will initiate prosecution? etc remain unanswered.
