Moily said fast track courts will be created to hold
speedy hearing of undertrail cases within a maximum period of
six months and for women and children, the government is
proposing to amend the Act and dispose cases within 6 months

pending cases in Allahabad Court and the need to have more
than one bench for UP, Moily said the Ministry has decided to
constitute a committee which will look into the creation of
benches within six months.
