He was speaking to the reporters after accepting petitions regarding cases of human right violations in the district, from the members of the general public. “The Commission registered 13,980 cases during the year, in which, 3,269 had been registered suo moto by the Commission. Out of this, 6,470 cases have been disposed off, while, 7230 remain to be sorted out, he revealed.
“There is not enough awareness among the people as yet, about the human rights. There have been demands for setting up different units of the Commission in the state. Although these proposals have been forwarded to the state government for doing the needful, no positive responses have been received. There is a proposal to set up separate departments in all the colleges of the state for creating awareness about human rights,” Justice S R Nayak explained.
When his attention was drawn to the reports that a firm from Bangalore had been extracting money from the people by posing itself as a human rights body, he said that the Commission headed by him alone has the right to investigate cases of human rights violation in the state.
