K.T. Thomas refuses to head Lokpal search panel

In yet another embarrassment to the government, former Supreme Court judge K.T. Thomas on Monday turned down the offer to head Lokpal search committee, days after jurist Fali Nariman opted out of the panel.

"I have written to Prime Minister's Office (PMO) expressing disinclination to head Lokpal search committee," former Judge Thomas told PTI on phone from Kottayam, Kerala.

"The reason is when I went through the rules, our committee which is called the search committee was to recommend names to select committee. The select committee need or need not to accept those names. So it was not worth while to have this search committee," the former judge said.
