The Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 was allowed to lapse on 23.5.1995. With a view to ensuring that no mis-carriage of justice took place, review committees for reviewing each individual case have been set up at the level of the Central Government for CBI cases and at the level of State Governments for cases of States Police Organisations. The State Governments and Union Territory Administration have also been advised to issue suitable instructions to their prosecution branches not to seek adjournment in pending TADA cases and ensure speedy trial. As a result of periodical reviews undertaken by the Review Committees, TADA provisions have been dropped against more than 24,000 persons. The total number of persons under detention in the entire country presently is only 1290. The Central Government had also constituted a Ministerial panel headed by the then Home Minister to review the work done by the State level and Central level Review Committees and the status of pending cases. The Committee had noted with satisfaction that now very few TADA cases remain and of them 98% are under trial. The cases that remain are those relating to serious terrorists crimes, such as, the Bombay Bomb Blast case, several other train and serial bomb blast cases and the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case. The Ministry of Home Affairs has emphasised the need to have more designated courts to Chief Ministers of those States having comparatively larger number of cases in order to expedite the disposal of cases under trial and to finalise the remaining cases pending investigation by reviewing them within a definite time frame.
