Question
Which of the following statements are correct regarding the Fast Track Courts (FTCs) in India?
Select the answer from the code given below:
- The FTC's were started by the Central Government pursuant to the observations of the First National Judicial Pay Commission, 1999, the 120th Report of the Law Commission on Manpower Planning in the judiciary,
- The FTC's are established to expeditiously dispose of long pending cases in the Sessions Courts and long pending cases of undertrial prisoners.
- When judges were appointed to the FTCs, their service conditions were settled by the framing of rules which were done in consultation with the High Courts of the States.
Select the answer from the code given below:
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
A unique feature of the FTCs is to prove to be cost-effective. This is so because the new courts charged with the exclusive work of disposing of undertrial cases in the first year of their existence.
A large majority of undertrials being those who had been booked for petty/minor offenses are bound to be discharged forthwith as most of them have been behind bars for periods that are longer than the punishment warranted by the offense. In plain terms, this means a huge saving in jail expenditure.
