Notice to Centre on 162 MPs facing criminal charges.
Press Trust Of India
New Delhi, November 04, 2011
The Supreme Court on Friday sought response from the Centre and the states on a plea seeking fast track court proceedings in criminal cases pending against Members of Parliament, saying it is "very disturbing" that 162 lawmakers are facing various criminal charges. A bench headed by
Justice P Sathasivam said the matter required consideration and issued notices to the Centre and the state governments asking them to file their responses within a month.
The court passed the order on a PIL by former chief election commissioner JM Lyngdoh pleading that the cases pending against MPs should be referred to fast track courts for quick disposal.
Senior advocate Rajiv Dhavan, appearing for Lyngdoh, submitted that 162 MPs were involved in various criminal cases and out of them, 76 were facing charges of serious nature and that they must be referred to fast track courts for timely disposal.
