Former Supreme Court judge A.M. Khanwilkar was appointed as the chairperson of the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal on Tuesday, nearly two years after the post fell vacant.
The Lokpal has been working without its regular chief after Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose completed his term on May 27, 2022.
Justice Pradip Kumar Mohanty, a judicial member of the Lokpal, is currently the acting chairperson.
