Chintakayala Vijay, TDP Rajya Sabha MP, said that the law is equal for everyone, regardless of whether a person holds public office or is an ordinary citizen. Questioning the pace of judicial proceedings, the MP asked, "If discharge petitions alone take 13 years, when will the actual trial be completed?" Noting that delayed judicial proceedings severely impact public confidence in the justice delivery mechanism, the MP remarked on the state of long-pending litigations. The MP urged the government to strengthen the capacity of Special CBI Courts to ensure speedy disposal of cases involving public representatives. Delays in judicial proceedings undermine public faith in the rule of law and the justice delivery system, Chintakayala Vijay said.
