Some allegations have been raised
against various members of India Against Corruption (IAC) since it took up its fight
against corruption. We have from time to time requested the Government to set
up an independent enquiry to investigate into the matter and give us double the
punishment than prescribed if found guilty. Unfortunately, the government has
been more interested in mud-slinging than setting up an independent probe. Therefore,
we have formed an independent ombudsmen consisting of three retired judges
enjoying a reputation of high integrity and independence to inquire into any
charges made against key members of IAC. They are:
1. Justice
AP Shah, Former Chief Justice of Delhi High Court
2. Justice
BH Marlapalle, Retired Judge - Bombay High Court
3. Justice
Jaspal Singh, Retired Judge - Delhi High Court
The Ombudsmen would be requested
to examine in depth the allegations and material against IAC members, their defense
and give a report on whether the allegations show any illegal or immoral act
being committed by IAC members. If any member is found guilty of any illegal or
immoral activity he would be expected to resign from the proposed party.
Currently some allegations have
been made against Anjali Damania, Prashant Bhushan and Mayank Gandhi. We are
referring these cases to this Ombudsmen.
The Ombudsmen would be requested
to expeditiously inquire into these charges and give their report as early as
possible and within 3 months.
