Indian Institute of Management Kashipur invites you to participate at the National Seminar on "DELIVERING JUSTICE FOR WOMEN: LESSONS FROM FAST TRACK COURTS IN INDIA"
Sponsored by National Commission for Women,
10-11 Dec 2022 | Venue: IIM Kashipur
Background
India confronts a problem caused by a sluggish legal system and a significant number of outstanding cases. Article 21 of the Constitution, on the other hand, indirectly guarantees a fundamental right of a timely trial. In order to fulfil this constitutional mandate, 'Fast Track Courts' (FTCs) have been established as a remedy for the lengthy delays that impede the operation of 'regular' courts in India. Fast Track Special Court (FTSCs) for delivering justice to women have often been proposed as a remedy for the significant delays that afflict the operation of 'regular' courts in India. Nonetheless, it is evident that these Courts are afflicted by a variety of problems. Consequently, it is important to examine the history of FTSCs in India, their jurisdiction, advantages, and disadvantages, as well as the functioning of similar courts in other nations and some suggestions for enhancing their operation in India. The academia, lawyers, researchers, NGOs and stakeholder in the Judiciary can jointly contribute to the review of the efficacies of the FTSCs for women in the country and provide inputs to future policy directions.
Themes
1. Functioning of Fast Track Special Court (FTC) for women in India
2. Training of Law students and Lawyers on accessing justice through Fast Track Special Courts.
3. Challenges of accessing justice through Fast Track Special Courts.
4. Role of the lawyers, government agencies and the judiciary in increasing the conviction rate of Fast Track Special Courts and their challenges.
5. Policy contexts to improve the efficiency of Fast Track Special Courts in India.
