The Delhi High Court has constituted a new Fast Track Court with immediate effect to hear cases under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024.
In a notification, the High Court said that the court of Anu Grover Baliga at the Rouse Avenue Courts will function as the specially designated Fast Track Court to hear cases under the Public Examinations Act, along with connected offences.
Ms Baliga, who was serving as the Judge In-charge of the Mediation Centre at Tis Hazari Courts, has been transferred to the Rouse Avenue Courts as Special Judge for this purpose. The move is aimed at ensuring the expeditious adjudication of cases related to unfair practices in public examinations.
The notification came hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Centre had decided to establish fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in examination paper leaks.
