On Supreme Court prodding, 2k of 4.7k MP/MLA cases settled in 2023

IndiaTimes Sunday, 21 April 2024
Supreme Court's vigilant oversight of criminal trials involving MPs and MLAs yielded positive outcomes, as designated courts resolved 2,018 out of 4,697 pending cases last year. This marks a departure from the past, where such cases languished for years, enabling legislators to evade consequences for corruption or imprisonment, potentially leading to disqualification under the Representation of the People Act.
