UPA gives up on Lokpal

The UPA government seems to have given up all attempts to appoint the country’s first lokpal — a corruption watchdog to probe allegations against public officers in high places — in the face of stiff opposition.
Virtually indicating the decision might be left to the new government voted to power after the elections, solicitor general Mohan Parasaran told the Supreme Court that no meeting chaired by the Prime Minister was scheduled in this regard and no appointment would happen immediately.
The NGO Common Cause has challenged in SC the rules notified to select the lokpal.
