Delhi gang rape has shaken nation's conscience, says Chief Justice of India

The CJI said the high court chief justices should get in touch with the state governments for appointment of judicial officers but in the meantime some court should be designated as fast-track courts to exclusively deal with offences against women.



“I feel that steps should be taken immediately to set up fast track courts to deal exclusively with cases of offences against women.

“In this regard, you may identify the number of requisite posts required to be created at the level of sessions judges as well as magistrates and, thereafter, the matter may be taken up with the state governments/union territory concerned, with promptitude, to increase the number of posts, not only of judicial officers but also of support staffs and infrastructure.
