AN  
ACT  
Preamble.—To provide for the constitution of special courts for the speedy trial of 
certain class of offences and for confiscation of the properties involved.

and public servants within the meaning of Section 2 (c) of the Prevention of Corruption 
Act, 1988 in the State of Bihar;  
 A
ND , WHEREAS , the Government has sufficient reasons to believe that large number 
of persons, who have held or are holding public offices and are public servants within the 
meaning of Section 2(c) of the Prevention of Corrup tion Act, 1988 have accumulated 
vast property, disproportionate to their known sour ces of income by resorting to corrupt 
means; 
 A
ND , W HEREAS , it is obligation of the State to prosecute person s involved in such 
corrupt practices and confiscate their ill gotten assets.  
 A ND , W HEREAS , the existing courts of Special Judges cannot reas onably be 
expected to bring the trials, arising out of those prosecutions, to a speedy termination 
and it is imperative for the efficient functioning of a parliamentary democracy and the 
institutions created by or under the Constitution o f India that the aforesaid offenders 
should be tried with utmost dispatch;  
 A
ND , WHEREAS , it is necessary for the said purpose to establish Special Courts to be 
presided over by the persons who are or have been S essions Judges/Additional 
Sessions Judges and it is also expedient to make so me procedural changes whereby 
avoidable delay in the final determination of the g uilt or innocence, of the persons to be 
tried, is eliminated without interfering with the right to a fair trial.  
 B E, it enacted by the Legislature of State of Bihar in the Sixtieth Year of the Republic 
of India as follows: —
