In one of the episodes of his Satyamev Jayate, Aamir Khan had requested the Rajasthan government to set up fast track courts for cases that deserved urgent attention. Within no time, one such fully functional court was set up in Kota which has recently passed verdicts on two cases, and soon will enunciate two more in the coming week (on February 22 and 25). "We have a confirmation from the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) authority of Kota regarding a defaulting doctor (in a sex determination case), who has now been convicted for two years," says Svati Chakravarty , co-director and research head, SJ. "This decision was taken by the fast-tack court that was formed after Aamir met chief-minister Ashok Gehlot in May 2012. The idea of the court is to pass verdicts within six weeks of hearing a case, as these cases had been languishing in courts across the state since 2006. This is Rajasthan's first ever conviction under the PCPNDT Act," she adds.
