UNDER the proposed fake news law, a minister has to make a decision within two days of receiving an application against his direction, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said in Parliament on Tuesday.
In the event an appeal is filed in the High Court, a hearing must be held in six days. Also, no court fees will be charged for the first three days.
