More courts for SC/STs on the anvil





Atrocities against SC/STs won't be taken lightly any more. The government on Monday proposed to increase the number of fast-track courts to dispose of atrocities cases against them.

Chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has directed officials attached to the civil rights enforcement (CRE) cell to ensure speedy disposal of cases on atrocities committed on dalits, and promised to set up more special courts to try such cases.

At present, there are seven special courts to try cases of atrocities on SC/STs. If needed, more will be set up, Yeddyurappa said on Monday. He chaired a meeting of the state-level committee on prevention of atrocities on SC/STs, set up under his chairmanship.

The meeting which was to be held at least twice a year to review atrocity cases and progress of investigation made by the CRE cell, met for the first time after the BJP government came to power. Admitting the delay in convening the committee meeting, Yeddyurappa said he will hereafter hold the sittings once in six months.

FAKE CASTE CERTIFICATES

The CM also directed officials to take stringent action against those involved in issuing fake caste certificates. As many as 632 cases have been registered so far, and 373 are still pending for disposal.
