Supreme Court to hear plea for faster disposal of cases against lawmakers

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a public interest litigation (PIL) that seeks faster disposal of cases filed against lawmakers. The petition raises concerns about the prolonged pendency of criminal and civil matters involving elected representatives in courts across the country.

The PIL aims to address delays in judicial proceedings that have accumulated over years, potentially affecting accountability and the credibility of the legal system. The hearing will examine mechanisms to streamline case management for such matters.
