Lokpal bill to be enacted soon: Moily

Mysore, April 22: Law Minister M Veerappa Moily today said the proposed Lokpal bill will be enacted soon.

Inaugurating a convention of Southern State Advocates and Human Rights? Delegates, he declined to comment further on the issue.

He said speedy redress of cases was still a major challenge before the judiciary. To tackle this problem, the Union Government has decided to establish rural and mobile courts at a cost of Rs 5,000 crore each and Rs 935 crore will be released for setting up e-courts.

He also said more lawyers will be recruited to all courts in the state.

The convention was organised here jointly by Legal and Human Rights? Department and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee.
