Bhubaneswar: With crimes against women rising in the state, the Odisha government has decided to initiate steps for setting up dedicated Mahila courts to provide speedy justice.
Announcing this on Thursday, Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan said these dedicated courts will try cases of crimes against women in different parts of the state.
He said these special courts will handle cases related to violence and abuse against women. This initiative aims to provide faster justice and ensure stringent punishment for offenders, the Minister said.
The women’s courts will feature women judges, lawyers, and staff. Similar to fast-track courts, the women’s courts will expedite trials and ensure swift delivery of verdicts, he said.
The government has already initiated the process of setting up these courts and has begun discussions with the High Court in this regard, the Minister added.
The move will help women victims to narrate their experiences without hesitation or shame before the prosecutors and judges.
