Lokpal proceedings against JMM chief Shibu Soren stayed by Delhi HC

The Hindu  

The Delhi High Court on September 12 stayed the proceedings initiated by the Lokpal against Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief Shibu Soren on the basis of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's complaint of "corruption" against the former Jharkhand chief minister. In the complaint made in August 2020, BJP leader Dubey claimed that “Shibu Soren and his family members acquired huge wealth and properties by misusing the public exchequer and have grossly indulged in corruption”. In the petition filed through lawyers Pallavi Langar and Vaibhav Tomar, the petitioner submitted that the corruption complaint was “motivated by political vendetta” and in view of the provisions of the Lokpal Act, the authority cannot act on allegations made seven years after the alleged offence has been committed. “The respondent No 1 under the precincts of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 could not have taken cognisance of the complaint as the complaint itself records that save and except the properties listed at serial number 1 and 2 which admittedly belong to Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, none of the properties were acquired within seven years of the date of the complaint.
