Composition of Lokpal authority- a simple& fresh solution

Generally speaking age does command respect and trust in human society. Specifically speaking the Supreme Court judges occupy the top position in the constitutional hierarchy in all democratic countries. Combining these two elements may give give a new molecule as a viable alternative to the vexed question of the composition of the proposed Lokpal body within the framework of the constitution.

In my humble opinion, the Lokpal authority at the Centre and in the States should be composed of only retired Suprme Court and High Court Judges respectively below the age of 75 years to be transparently appointed in order of their seniority in age and to retire at the age of 77.

The proposed appointees would fully meet the twin requirements of being from the civil society and having the highest sense of integrity, honesty and truthfulness besides having deep knowledge of the multifarious laws rules and regulations of our country which would necessarily be required in the performance of their duties to root out the cancer of corruption at high places.
