Most cases in Lok Pal not under its purview, says chairman

Most of the cases filed in the Lok Pal were disposed of as they were not coming under its purview or the jurisdiction, its chairman Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose said on Sunday.

Over 1,100 cases have been received before the one-year old Lok Pal and the members sat, discussed and found that the most of the cases were not coming under its jurisdiction or act and disposed of, Ghose told reporters here.

However, the people who had filed the cases were told to process their cases in the particular committee or institutions to get their allegations resolved for their own benefit, he said.

"Any other allegation and grievances, we will arrange to take up and there is no difficulty to carry on with full swing," he said.

Stating that the Lok Pal would function from a new office from January-end or the first week of February, Ghose said, "We are in a position to start our work."
