The Parliamentary Committee on law has asked the Government to deploy special prosecutors and magistrates to handle cases of electoral disputes so that they are settled in a time-bound manner.
The Committee, which presented its report before Parliament on Thursday, recommended that "cases registered during the (election) period should be handled by special prosecutors and magistrates in a time bound manner".
The Election Commission has told the Committee that it supports the recommendation.
"Recommendation of the Committee may be endorsed and it may be added that all cases of electoral offences should be vigorously pursued and taken to their logical conclusion and should not be withdrawn midway," the poll panel has been quoted as saying in the report.
