New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the high courts to monitor trials against MPs and MLAs facing criminal cases and issued a slew of directions on how to go about this.

Pronouncing its order on a plea seeking expeditious disposal of criminal cases against elected members of Parliament and Legislative Assemblies, a bench presided by Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud said that “there exist multiple factors” which “influence the early disposal of the subject cases” and “this coupled with their dissimilarity from state to state makes it difficult for this court to form a uniform or standard guideline for trial courts across the length and breadth of this country to dispose of these cases”.
