Speaking to Sputnik India on the issue, Rama Saxena, a school teacher, said: "the very idea of having a fast-track courts to deal with such offences was encouraging as they were to ensure speedy justice to the victims and their families".
"I don't know If the special fast-track courts have been effective enough in the past years but I'm sure that victims now know their cases would not get dragged unnecessarily and the same would see closure soon," Saxena said, adding that arrangement of special courts to handle cases involving sexual offences is something that should be appreciated by one and all alike.
"The establishment of fast-track courts to manage such sensitive cases has been very reassuring for girls and women in India. It was something that was needed especially when the country has a large number of cases pending in local courts, high courts and even in the supreme court," she said.
