As you want to get the advantages and disadvantages of Jan Lokpal Bill so here is the information of the same for you:

Advantages of Lokpal Bill

The major advantage lies in the nature of the legislation proposed. The clauses are aimed at tackling a major socio-political problem – corruption.
Unlike the traditional system, the Lokpal Bill proposes to give decision making power to highly qualified individuals who are neither bureaucrats nor politicians.
This bill has been in the pipeline for almost five decades, which is a clear indication that people across generations had faith in this legislation.
It is expected that the corruption cases will witness a speedy conclusion and the decision will be swifter. The turnaround time for justice to be meted out will be less.
Moreover, people will not get lost in the size of Indian judiciary system and they can count on a single entity to report crime and get their grievances redressed.

Disadvantages of Lokpal Bill:

First and foremost criticism of government’s Lokpal Bill is the clause which prevents Lokpal from receiving complaints of corruption from common people. It has to be at the Parliament’s mercy to get access to those complaints.
Proposed Lokpal Bill treats the institution only as an advisory body. After Lokpal makes an enquiry in any case, it has to forward the report to the ‘competent authority’, which will have the final powers to decide whether to take action or not. That makes Lokpal completely toothless.
Lokpal is deprived of police powers and therefore it cannot register an FIR. In such a situation, enquiries conducted by Lokpal will be considered as “preliminary enquiries”. There’s no mention on the procedure following the acceptance of Lokpal’s report. Who is going to file the chargesheet in the court and initiate prosecution? Moreover, who is going to appoint the prosecution lawyer?
There’s no clarity on the role of CBI once Lokpal Bill becomes a law. The question still remains whether CBI and Lokpal will investigate the same case or will CBI be restricted to investigating politicians only?
Government’s Lokpal bill talks about punishment (amounting to imprisonment) for ‘frivolous’ complaints. However, if the complaint is found to be true, the Ombudsman will not have the power to send the corrupt public servants to jail!
Lokpal Bill proposes jurisdiction only on MPs, Ministers and PM and not on officers. It is understood that any corruption is perpetrated collaboratively by the officers and politicians. According to government’s Lokpal Bill CVC will look into the role of bureaucrats while Lokpal will look into the role of politicians. This will surely create a bottleneck.
Lokpal will have no power to probe any case against PM that deals with foreign affairs, security and defence. This is another way of saying that corruption in defence deals will be out of Lokpal’s jurisdiction and hence no scrutiny is possible.
