The Assam Cabinet has decided to request the Gauhati High Court to establish a fast-track court for the trial of the death case of Assamese singer Zubeen Garg, following appeals from his family and public pressure. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma noted that while the current judge rejected bail petitions and the government was satisfied with ongoing proceedings, the family's request for expedited hearings will be prioritized. The case has attracted political attention amid concerns over delays and alleged conspiracies to influence judicial outcomes.
