Strongly pitching for decriminalisation of politics, the Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Centre to constitute special courts on lines of fast track court for speedy disposal of cases pending against MPs and MLAs. It also asked Centre to apprise how many of 1,581 cases involving MPs and MLAs, as per 2014 data, have been disposed of within one year.
The court was hearing a PIL filed by BJP leader Ashwani Upadhyay seeking debarring of convicts for life from contesting polls and stopping them from entering judiciary and the executive. In its response, the Centre told the apex court that recommendation of the Election Commission and Law Commission, favouring life ban on politicians convicted in criminal cases, is under active consideration.
