KIIT Law School Organises First Judges’ Lecture

March 28, 2022: On March 26, Hon'ble Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose, Chairperson, Lokpal of India, held the first lecture in the Judges' Lecture Series established by KIIT Law School (KLS).

Speaking on the 'Responsibility and Significance of Lokpal in India,' Justice Ghose stated, "The public has a greater role to play in curbing corruption. We must all adjust our perspectives. Corruption is like a termite, and we must eradicate it. Moral principles like this should be ingrained in our consciousness. Lokpal must be given the authority to combat the threat of lobbying. It should also have the authority to deal with conflicts of interest and whistleblower issues."

Lokpal is an anti-corruption authority in the country that represents the public interest. It is made up of a chairperson and eight members, half of whom are judicial. In 2019, Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose, a retired Supreme Court judge, was appointed as the inaugural Chairman of the Lokpal of India.

Justice Ghose expressed faith in the Lokpal's ability to provide justice to the public at large and asked for the assistance of all stakeholders in this endeavour. In the public's interest and to safeguard them from corrupt practises, Justice Ghose stated that the Lokpal must put an end to illegal operations in the real estate sector, particularly during land mutations, and prohibit payments amounting to billions of rupees in the transportation sector.
