“The law is not just a book of rules; it is a shield that protects every citizen.”
Many people think courts and laws are complicated. But if explained simply, they are systems designed to protect our rights and solve problems fairly.
What is a Fast Track Court?
A Fast Track Court (FTC) is a special court created to speed up cases that should not take years to complete.
Examples:
- Women’s safety cases
- Child protection matters
- Serious criminal cases
- Long-pending cases
Purpose:
✅ Faster decisions
✅ Reduced case backlog
✅ Quicker justice for citizens
The government established Fast Track Courts to improve access to justice and reduce delays.
What Does the Law Mean for Common People?
A law is simply a set of rules made by the government to protect people and maintain order.
