TDP MP Flags 13-Year Delay in Jagan Cases, Seeks More CBI Courts

The Story in Brief

TDP Rajya Sabha MP Chintakayala Vijay has urged the government to strengthen Special CBI Courts, citing delays in cases against former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. Speaking in Parliament, Vijay said nearly 31 criminal cases registered since 2013 remain pending. He said discharge petitions have been heard by nearly eight judges, while transfers and a shortage of judges delayed decisions.

Vijay argued that prolonged proceedings weaken faith in the justice system and asked for more judicial appointments and better court infrastructure. He said the principle that law applies equally to public representatives and ordinary citizens requires cases to be decided without undue delay. The claims about the pending cases and hearings were made by Vijay, as reported by Times Now News.

The Indian Opinion

The lazy narrative is that delay helps only politicians, while the opposing claim is that every delay proves institutional bias. Neither follows automatically. Vijay’s figures need verification from court records, and speed must not replace fair hearings or reasoned orders. The practical test is clear: when will the courts decide the discharge petitions, and how many judges and courtrooms will be added?
