STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS With a view to speeding up to trial of certain offences against the public safety, Special Courts of criminal jurisdiction have been set up in some of the States under the State laws. These courts had no jurisdiction to try offences relating to matters enumerated in the Federal legislative List under the Seventh Schedule to the Government of India Act, 1935; and, in order to confer upon them such jurisdiction, the Special Criminal Courts (Jurisdiction) Ordinance, 1950 (VII of 1950) was promulgated on the 21st January, 1950. The Ordinance will cease to operate in due course and the present Bill seeks to replace it, with changes consequent on the Constitution, by an Act of parliament. NEW DELHI; The 14 th February , 1950.
