Madras High Court Orders Reports on SC/ST Atrocities Cases and Victim Relief Measures
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed authorities to submit detailed district-wise reports related to cases under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act from the past five years. One report focuses on case statistics including investigations, chargesheets, trials, convictions, and appeals. Another report addresses the implementation of statutory relief and rehabilitation measures for families of victims, especially in murder and death cases, seeking details on support provided to dependants and widows. Both directives stem from public interest litigation petitions filed by activist Kathir alias Vincent Raj.
