STAFF FOR FAST TRACK COURTS


The Scheme of Fast Track Courts provides for a stenographer, a peshkar or superintendent and a peon as supporting staff to each court. These are ad hoc courts and have, therefore, ad hoc staff. It is for the respective State Governments and High Courts to provide additional staff for the Fast Track Courts, if required.

In spite of teething problems, Fast Track Courts have started disposing of cases which had remained pending for a long time.

This information was given by the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs, Shri Arun Jaitley in a written reply to a question from Miss Mabel Rebello in the Rajya Sabha today.
