Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Set up by Parliament to examine specific matters of national importance, often scandals or major policy issues. Members from both Houses form a JPC, investigating controversies like the 2G spectrum allocation. The committee summons ministers, officials, and experts to gather evidence, culminating in a report with recommendations. Although not a standing mechanism, JPCs wield significant clout and media attention. Implementation of suggestions depends on political will. Critics question possible biases if the ruling party holds a majority. Nonetheless, JPCs reflect the legislature’s power to hold the executive accountable in exceptional circumstances, bridging democratic transparency and public trust.
