Fast Track Special Courts which specialise in expediting the trial process for cases related to sexual offences disposed of 83 per cent cases in 2022 and 94 per cent in 2023 while all Indian courts saw only a 10 per cent disposal rate, according to a new report.
A recent report, 'Fast Tracking Justice: Role of Fast Track Special Courts in Reducing Case Backlogs' by the child rights NGO, India Child Protection, highlights the exceptional efficiency of these courts.
While all the Indian courts saw only a 10 per cent disposal rate for rape and POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) cases in 2022, FTSCs managed an impressive 83 per cent rate, which further improved to 94 per cent in 2023, according to the report.
Despite the positive impact of FTSCs, the report paints a stark picture of the judicial system's challenges.
