In a big push for the infrastructure sector, the Centre has asked the State Governments to set up special dedicated courts to settle disputes related to infrastructure project contracts stressing that it is important in improving the Ease of Doing Business, reports Economic Times.
Centre has also cited the examples of Allahabad, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh High Courts which have allocated a special day to deal with infrastructure project litigation by serving as designated special courts which do the job of dedicated special courts.
Centre believes that the move would give a fillip to the investors' confidence and also create a conducive business climate.
It should be noted that before this communique by the Centre, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had also written to all the Chief Ministers (CMs) in October, pressing for special courts under the aforementioned act.
