The Gauhati High Court has directed the State Authorities to file an affidavit giving the details of how the State is proposing to make the Human Right Commission functional.
The Itanagar Bench of Justice Arun Dev Choudhury and Justice Kardak Ete filed by one Tarh Gambo alleging that Human Right Commission in the State of Arunachal Pradesh has not yet been set up.
During the course of the proceeding, it is submitted at the bar, the Chairman of the Human Right Commission along with one Member have already been appointed. A Government building has also been provided for functioning of the State Human Right Commission.
However, the counsel for the petitioner alleged that supporting staffs are not yet been appointed and other infrastructural facilities are not being provided till date and therefore, the Commission has not been able to start its function.
The State counsel responding to such argument submits that even after due advertisement for filling up the vacancies, no candidate has applied for appointment on deputation inasmuch as the Act itself mandates for appointment of employees through deputation only.
However, he further submits that the State Authorities are taking the due measures so that the Human Right Commission starts its functioning.
