Madhya Pradesh is going to be the first state in the country to
have established special courts in every district for ensuring
conviction of accused in cases of atrocities against Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Except Singrauli district, all
districts are having special courts. The Chief Minister Mr.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan gave instructions to establish special court
at Singrauli within a week. The Union Government has praised the
special initiative of Madhya Pradesh.
This was informed at a meeting of state level scheduled castes and
tribes vigilance and monitoring committee for prevention of
atrocities here today. Mr. Chouhan reviewed the implementation of
the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (prevention of
atrocities) Act in districts.
Addressing the meeting Mr. Chouhan gave instructions to regularly
hold the meetings of district level vigilance and monitoring
committees and asked the authorities to seek explanation from
collectors of the districts where such meetings have not been
held. It was informed that Umaria is the only district where such
meetings have not taken place.
The Chief Minister gave instructions to speed up disposal of
pending cases relating to atrocities against the families
belonging Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes saying that legal
procedures should be accomplished timely for ensuring conviction
of the culprits. It was informed that incidence of atrocities has
declined in last four years. He instructed the officers concerned
to immediately provide relief to the suffering families. In cases
of delay, the officials responsible will have to face action, he
added.
In respect of appointment of prosecutors on the choice of
suffering families, it was informed that opinion of the Department
