The Central Government has taken several steps to support infrastructure, strengthen digital case-management systems and monitoring mechanisms in FAST TRACK SPECIAL COURTS (FTSCs):

1. The Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) for Development of Judicial Infrastructure supplements efforts of the States in building court halls, residential units, lawyers' halls, toilet complexes, and digital computer rooms for District and Subordinate Courts including FTSCs.  Total central assistance of Rs. 1,756.41 crore (as on 31.12.2025) has been provided to the State of Uttar Pradesh since the inception of the Scheme, out of which Rs. 1,205.11 crore has been provided since FY 2014-15. As on 31.12.2025, State of Uttar Pradesh has 2,923 court halls.
2. The Government of India is implementing e-Courts Project Phase-III, in close coordination with the eCommittee of the Supreme Court of India through the respective High Courts.  To strengthen digital case management, Case Information Software (CIS) 4.0 has been implemented in all court complexes; the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) provides public access to case information; electronic case management tools such as the eCourts Services Mobile App for litigants and lawyers and the JustIS Mobile App for Judicial Officers are operational, with 3,54,86,435 and 22,090 downloads respectively as on 31.12.2025; Digital Courts 2.1 has been developed to enable paperless courts and is under pilot implementation. In addition, an AI-based tool called Legal Research Analysis Assistant (LegRAA) has been developed to support judicial research and analysis.
3. In order to strengthen functioning of FTSCs, regular review meetings are held via Video Conferencing with the States/UTs and the High Courts. The Hon’ble Minister of Law & Justice has written to Hon’ble Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of the High Courts regarding need for timely action and strict compliance with timelines under the POCSO Act and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. In addition, the performance of FTSCs is a regular agenda item in the Inter-State Zonal Council meetings to improve inter-governmental coordination and expedite justice delivery.

 

This information was given by the MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF LAW AND JUSTICE; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal in Lok Sabha today.
