* The State of Jharkhand has decided to exit the FTSC Scheme vide letter dated 07.07.2025.
The Fast Track Courts (FTCs) are set up by the States/UTs in consultation with the respective High Courts, as per their requirements and availability of resources. In this regard, the 14th Finance Commission recommended the setting up of 1800 Fast Track Courts (FTCs) during the period 2015-2020 for expeditious trial of specific categories of cases including heinous crimes, cases involving women, children, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, individuals afflicted with terminal illnesses, and property-related cases pending for more than five years. As per information received from the High Courts, 880 FTCs are functional across 22 State/UTs as on 31.12.2025. No central assistance is being provided for setting up of these Fast Track Courts.
Further, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme for the establishment of Fast Track Special Courts (FTSCs), including exclusive POCSO (ePOCSO) Courts was launched in October, 2019. These courts are dedicated to the time-bound trial and disposal of pending cases related to rape and offences under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012. The Scheme has been extended twice, with the latest extension up to 31st March 2026, for establishment of 790 courts.
The impact of the FTSC Scheme has been assessed through third-party evaluations conducted during the extensions of the Scheme. The National Productivity Council conducted a third-party evaluation in 2021, which recommended continuation of the Scheme. Subsequently, the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) undertook an evaluation in 2023 and, inter-alia, recommended continuation of the Scheme, considering its positive role in expeditious disposal of cases relating to women and children. A third-party evaluation has been recently conducted by NITI Aayog through M/s KPMG Advisory Services Private Limited, which has also recommended continuation of the FTSC Scheme as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, noting its effectiveness in achieving its core objectives of speedy disposal of cases relating to women and children, reduction of pendency, and alignment with national priorities on justice delivery and women's safety.
Regarding the impact of these Courts in reduction of pendency of cases, as per information received from the High Courts, the FTCs have disposed of 40,26,982 cases during the last 3 years, i.e. 2023, 2024 and 2025. The year-wise and State-wise details are placed at Annexure-I. As per information received from the High Courts, the FTSCs have disposed of 2,28,414 cases during the last 3 years. The year-wise and State-wise details are placed at Annexure-II.
