HUMAN RIGHTS COURTS

The protection of “human rights” is mainly a constitutional mandate of the judiciary for protecting the different rights of all the citizens of India. The role of the “Human Rights Courts” is to take proper action for enforcing the different rights of Indian citizens. The judiciary of India is mainly the supreme guardian of various “human rights” of the citizens. In India, the appropriate protection of the “Human Rights Act 1993” has been provided by the establishment of the “Human Rights Courts”. The purpose of these kinds of courts is to provide a “speedy trial” for arising any offences for not maintaining human rights.  

Human Rights Courts

The courts for protecting the different rights of human beings have provided the “State Government” of India with the proper concurrence of “the Chief Justice” of “High Courts”. The establishment of “Human Rights Courts” has specifically ensured the quick disposal of various cases that are related to the offences of violating the rights of human beings. The “State Government” of India can establish the “Human Rights Courts” by taking permission as well as consent from the “Chief Justice” of the “High court”. The consent can be taken by providing notification on which there is the mention of specifications for different districts for making the “Court of Session” by the “Human Rights Courts”. The “State Government” can appoint the advocates or the public prosecutor in that court. However, to be appointed in the “Human Rights Courts”, there is a need to have the practice of more than seven years for conducting cases in that court.   

Human Rights Act in India 

In India, there is the “Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993” that is provided for the particular constitution of the “National Human Rights Commission” as well as in the states. This act has been created for protecting the rights of human beings in a better manner. There is the presence and mention of a total of eight chapters that are related to the protection of “human rights”. In the “Chapter VI” of this act, there is the mention of the establishment of the “Human Rights Courts”. The “National Human Rights Commission” has been collecting information from the “Central or State government” while inquiring about the different complaints against the violation of “human rights”. In case the commission is not receiving the report or information within the specified time then it can proceed with the inquiry in the manner of its own.   

Right to privacy which is a fundamental right

In the year 2017, the “Supreme Court” of India has declared “the Right to Privacy” as the “fundamental right”. “Right to privacy” has been protected as the intrinsic part for having “right to life” as well as personal liberty and falling under “Article 21”. There is also the mention of this right in “Part III” of the “Indian Constitution”. This is becoming the “fundamental right” as it is the essential part of every human being in India. This right has protected the individual citizen from the specific scrutiny of the different states in the home of them. For this reason, there is the requirement of the “judicial review” in case there is a violation of the “right to privacy” in the Indian Subcontinents.

International court for protecting human rights

The international courts have the right to protect the required states for protecting the individual people as well as groups against the abuses of “human rights”. “International Human Rights Law” has laid down the different obligations which the different states are bound to provide. The obligation for fulfilling means that the different states can take required action for the facilitation of the proper protection of “human rights” that are basic. The“international courts” have looked after those types of matters that are mainly related to the breaking of different human rights. The “International Human Rights Day” is being observed in India on 10th December every year for the proper improvement of the spiritual, cultural, social and also physical well being of the people of the world.
