It has been agreed to remove the limitation provision that corruption-related cases can be prosecuted within five years of knowing that there is in the Corruption Prevention Act 2049 amendment bill pending in the State Order and Good Governance Committee of the Parliament. Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar informed the State Order and Good Governance Committee that the government is ready to remove this provision.
According to the chairman of the committee, Ramhari Khatiwada, there will be no five-year limitation provision in the bill under consideration in the committee. As we know now, there will be no hindrance in prosecuting corruption cases, not only for five years, but also for any period. After being criticized for having the provision of limitation, the members of the committee also gave their opinion in the meeting that it should be removed . Then it was decided to remove .
There was opposition after trying to amend the provision in section 45 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 2059. In section 45 (1) of the bill, a provision was made that, "A case of corruption shall be prosecuted within five years from the date of knowing that such an act has been committed". The five-year deadline should not be kept There was opposition saying.
Is the law being introduced to protect the corrupt?
