The court will have to hand down definitive verdicts against several defendants accused of corruption practices, abuse of trust and other serious offences committed in their respective lines of work.

The Supreme Court will have a 2 day session to examine these burning cases, which have been held in abeyance for several months now, owing to very sluggish legal procedures.
