All criminal cases pending before various lower courts across the country will go fast-track within the next three months, Union Law Minister Verappa Moily said. Moily said, "Things are already in the process and the Union government has given away a sum of Rs 20,000 crores to different states to ensure timely completion of work to have all the systems in place to give the courts a new shape with modern equipment and systems."
Elections will also be held in 35 assembly constituencies in Odisha.
