Fast track court pulled up by HC

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday asked a fast-track court why it has not delivered its verdict till now in a rape case against a woman after reserving the order in October 2016.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar disapproved of the fact that the trial court in Rohini area of west Delhi has been postponing a matter of rape in which the accused was a woman, who has been granted bail but could not furnish a personal bond and surety for Rs 10,000.
The high court said it had earlier too questioned how women could face trial for offences like rape and molestation, which they cannot be accused of under the penal law.
The fast-track court was asked to place before the High Court the status of the rape case against the woman by August 6, the next date of hearing.
