17. FAST TRACK COURTS

 FAST TRACK COURTS

AAP is of the opinion that stricter implementation of the present laws is required. The accused must be arrested and tried at the earliest to reduce the number of cases. Instead of encouraging fast track courts, the Congress government had closed down the existing ones citing the excuse of excess expenditure.  This shows how insensitive they are towards crime against women. Most of the Congress MLAs themselves have criminal cases against them and hence they are against the fast track courts.

The inaction of the police towards rape cases has made the women lose faith in the police. Rape cases must be handled by the police sensitively. To avoid rapes and other crimes taking place, there is a need to create fear of police in the minds of the people who commit such crimes. AAP promised to pass stringent laws against rape.

In the 1,000 fast track courts in India around 3.2 million cases have been decided in the last 11 years but 32 million cases are still pending. Hence more fast track courts are needed. More judges need to be appointed in the existing courts so that the pending cases can be heard as soon as possible. Fast track courts were discontinued by the centre in 2011 but some states continued with their own expenditure.

WORK DONE IN DELHI REGARDING FAST TRACKING OF COURTS

            AAP said that law should be provided that crimes like molestation and rape must be cleared as quickly as possible and the culprit must be punished within two months. As many investigation officers and fast track courts must be provided to punish the culprit in two months. The existing laws must be amended where ever they do not provide adequate justice to women.
