The Indian government has proposed significant amendments to the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, introducing strict timelines for the legal process surrounding examination malpractice. Under the new Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, all investigations into alleged offences must be concluded within a two-month period.

To expedite the judicial process, the legislation grants the Central Government the authority to establish special fast-track courts as needed. These measures are designed to streamline the handling of anti-cheating cases and ensure a more efficient resolution of investigations and subsequent trials.
