Forum for Good Governance (FGG) has pointed out that Telangana is the only state with no pending cases against MPs and MLAs thanks to the shoddy police investigation allowing them to get away scot-free.
In a press release, FGG secretary M. Padmanabha Reddy said the Supreme Court had directed the states to establish special courts to try pending cases against MLAs and MPs and Telangana Government had established the same in Feb. 2018.
It had transferred 395 cases to these special courts and judgments delivered show that there had been acquittals in 380 cases, fines imposed in 10 cases and imprisonment in four cases. The four MLAs convicted had approached the High Court to obtain stay orders and no efforts had been made thus far to appeal to the higher court, he charged.
