The Supreme Court today asked the Centre to consider setting up a special court to deal with the Rs. 1.76 lakh crore 2G spectrum scam. A bench of justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly said there was a need for a special court in view of the magnitude of the offence as otherwise the objective of the prevention of Corruption Act and Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) could not be achieved.The court said, unless the government is prepared to create a special court, purpose will not be served. The bench observed that it is the need of the hour, and we must have exclusive courts to deal with these offences.Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium admitted that the case needs special expertise and said he would consult the government and report back to the court.The apex court pointed out that though the government was enacting a number of laws, it was not creating adequate courts as the result of which the existing courts are over burdened and there is no way special cases like the present one can be dealt in an expeditious manner.
