All eight newly appointed members of anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal will take oath of office on Wednesday, officials said on Tuesday.
President Ram Nath Kovind had on Saturday administered the oath of office to Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose as the country’s first Lokpal. Former Chief Justices of different High Courts — Justices Dilip B Bhosale,
Pradip Kumar Mohanty, Abhilasha Kumari — besides sitting Chief Justice of Chhattisgarh High Court Ajay Kumar Tripathi were appointed as judicial members in the Lokpal.
Former first woman chief of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) Archana Ramasundaram, ex-Maharashtra chief secretary Dinesh Kumar Jain, former IRS officer Mahender Singh and Gujarat cadre ex-IAS officer Indrajeet Prasad Gautam are the Lokpal’s non-judicial members.
