Accountability

The system has a record too.

Most of this is already public. It’s just scattered across affidavits, ministry replies and PDFs. Sakhi puts it in one place, links every figure to its source, and lets you reach your own conclusion.

The Backlog Clock.

Rape and POCSO cases pending in Fast Track Special Courts: 2,45,579. Drag the sliders. How long does the pile take to clear — if ever?

New cases a year

Cases disposed a year

A what-if, not a forecast. Defaults are the Ministry’s 2025 figures (1,43,936 filed, 66,500 disposed). Reported pending actually rose by 41,457 over 2025 (2,04,122 → 2,45,579); transfers and re-counts mean the sources don’t reconcile exactly.

Result

Promise vs delivery

What was said. What is running.

Promise	Delivery	Gap	Source
790 Fast Track Special Courts for rape & POCSO cases	775 functional (30 Apr 2026)	15 short	Law Ministry
“Fast” disposal	66,500 disposed vs 1,43,936 filed in 2025	46% closed	Law Ministry
Shrinking the backlog	Pending: 2,04,122 → 2,45,579	+20% in a year	Law Ministry
Nirbhaya Fund for these courts	₹1,259.51 crore released to States/UTs since inception	Ask: spent how?	Law Ministry
Conviction in trials that finish	About 1 in 4 (27% in 2022, ~24% in 2023)	3 in 4 don’t	NCRB
Cases waiting in court (crimes against women)	23,03,657 pending — 90.8% of all cases in trial, 2023	91 in 100 waiting	NCRB 2023

Fast Track courts do work faster per court — 9.51 vs 3.26 cases a month — which makes the shortfall in number and capacity the story, not the model.

Neta Map

What sitting MPs swore on affidavit.

How to read this. Every case shown is declared by the MP in a sworn election affidavit and is pending. Sakhi writes “convicted” only if the affidavit says a court convicted. Being named is not a finding of guilt.
