HC issues notice to human rights panel


ALLAHABAD: The Allahabad HC had issued notice to Human Rights Commission, Uttar Pradesh, on a public interest litigation (PIL), alleging that Uttar Pradesh tops in the violation of human rights but the State Human Rights Commission UP does not have its own probe agency. The Commission does not have its own website. 
The order was passed by a division bench comprising acting Chief Justice Laxmi Kanta Mohapatra and Justice Pradeep Kumar Singh Baghel on a PIL filed by People's Vigilance Committee for Human Right, Varanasi, after hearing its counsel KK Roy, Namrata Tiwary and Shams Vikas.
The petitioner has alleged that despite maximum violation of human rights in the state, the Human Rights Commission, UP, never issues its annual report. The proceedings of Commission are never placed on the floor of the assembly.
