AJNALA (AMRITSAR), DEC 23
The Punjab government is requesting Chief Justice of
Punjab and Haryana High Court for setting up of at least 7 Fast Track Courts in
different locations in the state for expeditious trial of all heinous crimes
including rape cases as delay in justice to the victims of heinous crimes
forfeits the basic purpose of criminal administration system.
Speaking to media persons after congratulating the
people of Christian Community in a function organized here today Mr. Sukhbir
Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister along with Mr. Bikram Singh Majithia,
Revenue Minister, Punjab said that the Punjab Government is conveying to the
Punjab and Haryana High Court that it was ready to provide total
infrastructural support for setting up these fast track courts and bear all
expenses for additional staff required for these courts. He said that Punjab
Government was seriously concerned about the delayed justice especially in the
cases of heinous crime as Justice delayed was justice denied.
He said that he
also believed that merely expediting justice was not enough as police has to be
provided scientific training in investigation, collection of evidence besides
scientific preservation of exhibits, proper framing of charges during
prosecution stage and ensuring speedy justice to the victims. Mr. Badal said
that he has already ordered separation of investigation and law and order
wings, providing scientific training to investigating officers, approving
proposal for setting up of Forensic Science Labs in Mohali.

Christian Community on the eve of Christmas said that SAD-BJP Government was
fully committed for the welfare of Christian Community and during this session
