[ZESTCaste] Dalits’ murder trial delayed as Delhi official stays away

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/dalits-murder-trial-delayed-as-delhi-official-stays-away/752368/

Dalits' murder trial delayed as Delhi official stays away
Express News Service Posted online: Sun Feb 20 2011, 01:35 hrs
New Delhi : The trial in the alleged murder of two Dalits was again
delayed as Delhi Principal Secretary (Home), failed to appear before a
Rohini court on Saturday — irking Additional Sessions Judge Kamini
Lau.

The court had summoned the chief secretaries of Delhi and Haryana in
person, or through an officer not less than the rank of Principal
Secretary (Home), to apprise it on various issues related to the case,
in which a Dalit and his daughter were burnt alive and many houses
gutted in violence that engulfed Mirchpur in April 2010.

When Haryana Principal Secretary (Home) Sameer Mathur appeared before
the court on Saturday morning, with no official from Delhi, the court
immediately summoned Additional Secretary (Delhi) S B Shashank, who
appeared later in the day. Shashank informed the court that the
Principal Secretary (Home) was on leave, following which the court
asked him to appear on February 21.

The trial as well as the 100 accused in the case were later shifted to
Delhi, following an apex court order to ensure justice for the
victims. Victims, through their counsel M S Rastogi, also moved two
applications before the court on Saturday — seeking protection and
accommodation from the Delhi government, and the appointment of a
public prosectutor of their own choice. Mathur said: "All issues
decided by the court are agreeable to us."

The court had earlier asked the officials to answer three questions:
Which State government will ensure protection for witnesses/victims;
which government will secure the production of victims/witnesses and
make arrangements for their stay in Delhi; and who among the six
prosecutors will lead the trial. While Haryana agreed to accord
protection, Delhi said it would provide accommodation to the victims.

[ZESTCaste] Website to create awareness on atrocities under SC/ST Act

http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/article1463666.ece

NEW DELHI, February 17, 2011
Website to create awareness on atrocities under SC/ST Act
Special Correspondent

The Department of SC/ST of the Delhi Government would be launching a
website to create greater awareness about the provisions of SC/ST
Prevention of Atrocities Act and special courts are also being
contemplated to deal with such atrocities.

Chairing a meeting of the State-level Vigilance and Monitoring
Committee set up under the provision of Rule 16 of SC/ST Prevention of
Atrocities Act, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit directed the department
to work towards launching the website. She said it would facilitate
registration of FIRs related to violation of rules under the Act and
go a long way in preventing atrocities against SC/ST.

At the meeting, it was pointed out that victims of such atrocities
have been facing difficulties in getting their FIRs registered. It was
also decided that sign-boards stating designated police officer in the
police stations and Sub-Divisional Magistrate offices be put to enable
the victims to seek assistance in getting their FIRs registered.

The Delhi Government would also consider setting up dedicated courts
for trial of offences relating to atrocities against SC/STs. To ensure
compliance of the Act, the Government has constituted a State-level
Vigilance and Monitoring Committee headed by the Chief Minister and
the Secretary SC/ST Welfare has been nominated its nodal officer.

The issue of victimisation of domestic helps and other helping hands
being provided by placement agencies was also discussed.

[ZESTCaste] Dalit’s meet supports T formation

Dalit's meet supports T formation
February 21st, 2011
DC Correspondent

Feb. 20: The Dalit Mahasabha meet here on Sunday asked SC, ST, BC, and
minorities to work together, to get power in coming years.

The founder president of Mahasabha, Mr Katti Padma Rao, said that
Dalit communities were suppres-sed by forward caste leaders, hence
Dalits should protest against atrocities.

He said that only two castes are ruling our state, and alleged that
these casts do not want Dalit's development hence they never made a
Dalit chief minister, barring Damodaram Sanjeevaiah.

He lamented despite the ST/SC Atrocity Act, Dalits are facing
partiality in the society. Mr Padma Rao demanded provision of lands
for agriculture, and house, for Dalits. Mr G. Chakrapani, Mr Ch.
Gurup-rasad and others also spoke.

The leaders said that their Mahasabha is supporting separate Telangana
state. They opined that Dalits will get power only with the
bifurcation of state. Various groups staged cultural programmes on the
occasion.

Earlier, a rally was taken out in the town. Meanwhile, the Samaikya
Andhra Rashtra Vidyarthi Joint Action Committee leaders asked the
Mahas-abha leaders to reconsider their demand for smaller states.

They said that Dalit's conditions are very bad in small states like
Chattisgarh, Uttaranchal, and Jharkhand. The committee state
co-convenor, Mr R. Jagadeesh, and other leaders recalled that Dalit
Mahasabha was formed to develop the Dalit community, hence it should
not support for separate Telangana state.
