The
Government has discontinued the scheme of central assistance to States
for Fast Track Courts (FTCs) since 1.4.2011. However, several States
have continued Fast Track Courts from their own resources. Giving this
information in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Shri
Salman Khurshid, Minister of Law & Justice, said that in the
judgement given by the Supreme Court on 19.04.2012 in Transfer Case
(Civil) No. 22 of 2001- Brij Mohan Lal and Others versus Union of India
and Others, the Supreme Court has directed that States shall continue
Fast Track Courts Scheme only if this is made a permanent feature. They
(States) are at a liberty, however, to decide whether to continue the
Scheme or not. Fifteen State Governments have conveyed their decision in
regard to continuation or otherwise of the FTCs.(PIB) 04-September-2012 19:08 IST
