NGO moves HC, seeks HR courts
Tags:
A Visakhapatnam-based NGO has approached the High Court seeking establishment of special courts at the district level to exclusively deal with human rights violation cases and also to appoint special PPs for such cases. Human Rights Council secretary Mantri Shyam Prasad filed a plea stating that West Bengal has become the first state in the country to establish Human Rights Special Courts in all it’s districts in September 2011. He told the court that in spite of his several representations, the state government is least bothered in establishing such courts and also not bothered about protecting human rights.
Unregistered, yet valuable: HC
Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy of the High Court has made it clear that an unregistered sale deed, even though not admissible as evidence, can be looked into for collateral purposes. While dismissing a civil revision petition by D. Govinda Raju and another, the judge upheld an order by the XI Additional District Judge, Kakinada in admitting the unregistered sale deed as evidence in a suit.
According to the petitioner, the lower court admitted as evidence an unregistered sale deed presented by one Vanimisetti Chakrapani Rao. Mr Chakrapani Rao claimed that he had purchased a property through unregistered sale deed in 1960 and since then he and his family members were in uninterrupted possession of the same.
