There is an old saying that goes like “better late than never”, and this perfectly fits the NDA govt’s most recent step towards the institution of special courts to speed up the hearing process of criminal cases against the tainted MLAs and MPs-- though it should’ve been taken much earlier. Significantly, the credit for the recent development does not go to the cognizance of government, but to the Supreme Court’s last year rap on the Modi government. Two of such special courts have been formed in Delhi, which are to start the process from 1 March.
A total of twelve such courts is to be instituted to facilitate the fast-track hearing process of the years-long cases against the tainted lagislators. Aiming to dispose each case within a year, these courts will operate as fast-track courts.
Despite the fact that the govt’s move to set up special courts followed the Supreme Court order; it is significant that the MPs and MLAs who’ve been found indulged in various criminal acts will no longer enjoy the immunity due to tedious judicial proceedings.
