Vijay Hansari, Amicus explains the contents of his previous report.

DYC J: One set of accused were charged under for PC and other charged under is IPC. What happens when you don’t have a different set of accused?

Sibal: I will be very short. Let us start by accepting that the parliament can create a special court for special offences. No dispute on the proposition that this court under article 142 has the power to direct particular classes of offences will be tried by special court
All that has been pointed out is in light of corruption etc. If you have a legislation, nobody can dispute it. The right of appeal can be taken away by a statute. All persons under a relevant statute stand on a different footing
In telecom and coal case the court ordered the accused by a trial court under 142. There is a discrimination between MP/MLA in coal or telecom scam. There is a discrepancy between states here. Principal of speedy trial does not arise here
Speedy trial has something to do with special court. You cannot transfer jurisdiction for the sake of speedy trial. 2 orders have been passed, there was a direction that there shall be a magistrate court in every district, the order has not been complied
There is no provision by which HC can transfer these case. Court has passed an order in Anthule’s case.
