Anantnag (J&K), November 17 (ANI): Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju expressed Centre’s desire to strengthen the Judiciary from top to bottom in a bid to deliver justice to all no matter the circumstances. “We made a provision to have special courts for trial of heinous crimes in the country - rape, murder of children and crimes against women. We made roadmap for fast track courts and fast-track special courts under POCSO Act. We brought Criminal Amendment Bill in 2018,” he said on November 17. “Any crime that takes place, whoever be the perpetrator, law should deal with them strictly. There are courts, they will act. It is Government’s duty to strengthen courts. All courts are united and we want the law of the land to be strong,” added Kiren Rijiju. As the unfolding story of the cold-blooded Shraddha murder case continues to send chills down the spines of people, the Union Law Minister’s statement brought bit of a relief.
