Q. Consider the following statements regarding Fast Track Courts (FTCs):
1.Fast Track Courts are governed by a comprehensive central legislation enacted by Parliament.
2.A Fast Track Court may be constituted exclusively for an individual case solely on the ground that it has generated widespread public interest.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect because there is no single central legislation governing Fast Track Courts.
- Statement 2 is incorrect because the mere existence of widespread public interest or the need for a speedy trial is not sufficient to justify constituting a Fast Track Court for an individual case; such classification must have a rational and objective basis consistent with Article 14 of the Constitution
