And if reasonable cause for delay occurs, it has to be rescheduled as soon as possible.

The official said that they have been implementing that rule since the law came into effect.

Noting that they are trying resolve the cases at the Juvenile Court, the official said that there are no cases that have been more than an year old.

And he said that there have been no complaints from anyone about a case being delayed or prolonged.
