    Modi before the 2014 elections assured the people that he will request the Supreme Court to establish fast track courts and fast track all criminal cases against all law makers. Seven years have elapsed and UP has withdrawn all cases against Mr Bisht the Yogi. No Lokpal has been appointed. Naa Kaunga Naa Khulauga. Everyone is making Hay while the lotus Blooms and Corruption is rampant across the country with the BJP encouaraging all corrupt practices and providing safe haven to such people to remain in power and dislodge elected Govt and subvert Democracy. Hope the High Court will restore all the criminal cases and fast track them to cleanse our political system.

    Law is above all and is unbiased. So, if Court is considering withdrawal of cases against former and sitting MLAs & MPs, then what happens to those many, who are jailed for no fault of theirs and are undergoing punishment. Most of the times these innocent people are victimized and being made scapegoat by people in power of so called powerful people. So, is the Law of the Land only for us average citizens ? Are these people above the law? As per my knowledge many of these people have criminal cases against them? Why can't our Judiciary System take action against them? This will set a precedent for others to be aware and careful. The very fact you are saying there are cases, it proves that there are pending cases against our leaders. So why spare them?

    Law is applicable only for poor and most of the MPs and MLAs are criminal background.
