New Delhi: Supreme Court on Thursday asked the states why they had not set up special courts to hear cases of violation of human rights, even 25 years after a law asked them to do so, a media report said Friday.
Chief Justice Dipak Misra observed that not a single state had done it even though a human rights law, in 1993, asked states to set up such courts with special public prosecutors in each district, reported The Hindu. The court was hearing a petition challenging a Calcutta High Court order that had stripped the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights of the power to investigate a case of child trafficking in West Bengal, as the state-level commission was already considering the matter, stated the report.
