Question : 1

Which of the following statements are correct regarding the Fast Track Courts (FTCs) in India?

  1. The FTC's were started by the Central Government pursuant to the observations of the First National Judicial Pay Commission, 1999, the 120th Report of the Law Commission on Manpower Planning in the judiciary,
  2. The FTC's are established to expeditiously dispose of long pending cases in the Sessions Courts and long pending cases of undertrial prisoners.
  3. When judges were appointed to the FTCs, their service conditions were settled by the framing of rules which were done in consultation with the High Courts of the States.
Select the answer from the code given below:

a) 2 only

b) 1 and 2

c) 1 only

d) All of the above

Answer: (d)

A unique feature of the FTCs is to prove to be cost-effective.

This is so because the new courts charged with the exclusive work of disposing of undertrial cases in the first year of their existence. A large majority of undertrials being those who had been booked for petty/minor offences are bound to be discharged forthwith as most of them have been behind bars for periods that are longer than the punishment warranted by the offence.

In plain terms, this means a huge saving in jail expenditure.

Question : 3

Consider the following statements relating to the procedure of the election of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha:

  1. The election of a Speaker shall be held on such date as the Prime Minister may fix and the Secretary General shall send to every member notice of this date.
  2. The election of a Deputy Speaker shall be held on such date as the Speaker may fix and the Secretary General shall send to every member notice of this date.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?

a) Only 2

b) Both 1 and 2

c) Only 1

d) Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: (a)

Usually, a member belonging to the ruling party is elected the Speaker. A healthy convention, however, has evolved over the years whereby the ruling party nominates its candidate after informal consultations with the Leaders of other Parties and Groups in the House.

This convention ensures that once elected, the Speaker enjoys the respect of all sections of the House. Once a decision on the candidate is taken, her name is normally proposed by the Prime Minister or the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs.

If more than one notice is received, these are entered in the order of receipt. The Speaker pro term presides over the sitting in which the Speaker is elected, if it is a newly constituted House. If the election falls later in the life of a Lok Sabha the Deputy Speaker presides.

The election of a Deputy Speaker shall be held on such date as the Speaker may fix, and the Secretary-General shall send to every member notice of this date.
