AP Human Rights Commission To Hold Four-Day Camp Court In Vijayawada

The Andhra Pradesh State Human Rights Commission (APSHRC) will conduct a four-day camp court in Vijayawada from November 10 to 13 to address pending human rights complaints and receive fresh cases from the public. The proceedings will take place at the Vijayawada Sub-Collector's Office under the supervision of Commission Chairman Justice M. Satyanarayana Murthy, camp court nodal officer Boggaram Taraka Narasimha Kumar announced.

The camp court is intended to provide people from four districts with an opportunity to approach the commission directly and seek redressal for grievances involving alleged human rights violations. Cases registered from NTR, Krishna, Eluru and West Godavari districts (Bhimavaram) will be taken up during the four-day programme.

Apart from examining complaints that are already pending before the commission, the authorities will also accept new cases during the hearings. This will enable individuals who have faced violations of their fundamental rights to bring their concerns directly to the notice of the commission without having to wait for another scheduled hearing.

The nodal officer appealed to affected individuals from the four districts to utilise the facility and present their complaints before the commission. He said the camp court would offer an accessible platform for victims to seek intervention and pursue appropriate action on their grievances.

At the same time, officials from the respective districts have been instructed to attend the Vijayawada camp court without fail. Their presence is particularly important in cases that are pending before the Human Rights Commission, as their participation will help facilitate the proceedings and address matters taken up during the hearings.

The commission has been organising such camp courts as part of its broader effort to improve public access to human rights protection and grievance redressal across Andhra Pradesh. Instead of requiring complainants to approach the commission through a centralised process, these special sittings bring its proceedings closer to people in different districts.
