The Special Court Bill 2024 of Gujarat was passed with a majority in the Assembly today, on the third and last day of the monsoon session.

Under this bill, if any Government employee or leader is involved in corruption, a special officer will auction the ill-gotten assets of the person, and the proceedings acquired by that would be used for the upliftment of the public, stated Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi.

According to Sanghavi, a Special Court would be set up under the bill to process these cases and clear them within a year. The perpetrators will be acted upon immediately once it is implemented.

Even if the charge sheets are pending, action will be taken in those cases. In any case, action will be taken if there are illegal properties attached to the corrupt government employees.
