Over 1,600 SC/ST atrocities cases pending
Monday, 25 July 2011
Hyderabad, July 25: About 1,600 cases of atrocities against Schedules
Castes and Tribes have been pending for several months in the police
stations across the state. Sarvajana Satta, an affiliate of Lok Satta
party representing weaker sections, complained to the SC/ST Commission
to resolve the pending cases.
In a representation to the SC/ST Commission here on Saturday, a
delegation of Sarvajana Satta comprising Eeda Chennayya, Srikant
Chintala, Hanumantha Rao and PV Rao submitted a memorandum to officer
of special duty at the commission R Subba Rao.
According to the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act of 1989, the
officials should initiate action against the accused within a month or
two. The delegation expressed unhappiness over the delay in appointing
chairperson and other members of the Commission despite the term of
previous members ending in October last year. As a result, many cases
have been lying unresolved, the memo said.
