The issue was raised during a discussion in Parliament on strengthening the country’s legal and judicial framework. Vijay said justice must be delivered without delay, irrespective of whether the accused is a public office holder or an ordinary citizen. Referring to the TDP’s emphasis on strengthening the rule of law, the MP said judicial reforms, particularly improving the functioning of Special CBI Courts, are necessary to ensure speedy disposal of cases. MP Vijay cited the pending criminal cases against former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. He said around 31 criminal cases have been pending against Jagan since 2013, with nearly 13 years having elapsed.
The MP noted that the discharge petitions in these cases have reportedly been heard by around eight different judges, but frequent judicial transfers and a shortage of judges have delayed a final decision. Questioning the prolonged pendency, Vijay asked, “If discharge petitions alone take 13 years, when will the actual trial be completed?" He urged the Centre to strengthen the capacity of Special CBI Courts by increasing the number of judges and ensuring continuity in judicial proceedings to avoid repeated delays. Vijay stressed that the issue was not about any one individual but about ensuring equal application of the law and preserving public confidence in the justice delivery system. He said strengthening judicial infrastructure is essential to uphold the rule of law and ensure timely justice for all.
