India reduces fast-track sex crime court target to 790 due to slow progress and judicial shortage.

India has revised its target for establishing fast-track sex crime courts from 1,023 to 790 due to states' inability to meet the original goal and a shortage of judges. This decision follows criticism from the Supreme Court regarding slow justice for sexual offences. Since the initiative's launch in 2019, only 752 courts have been set up, highlighting ongoing challenges in addressing sexual violence and expediting justice for victims.
