The Chief Minister of Haryana instructed state officials to expedite legal proceedings involving Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities, emphasizing prompt delivery of justice.
New Delhi — In a directive issued today, the Chief Minister of Haryana called on all relevant state departments to accelerate the handling of cases that involve members of Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities. The order underscores the government's commitment to ensuring that victims from these groups receive timely legal redress.
The CM emphasized that delays in the judicial process can erode public confidence and disproportionately affect marginalized sections of society. Accordingly, officials are to prioritize pending SC/ST cases, monitor progress regularly, and report any bottlenecks to the chief minister's office.
State authorities have been asked to coordinate with the judiciary, police and legal aid agencies to streamline investigations, filings and court hearings. The directive also calls for enhanced awareness among officials about the special provisions that protect SC/ST rights under Indian law.
The move comes amid growing concerns across several Indian states about the pace of justice for historically disadvantaged communities. By mandating a faster resolution, Haryana aims to set a benchmark for other regions to follow.
The chief minister's office will review implementation reports on a monthly basis to assess compliance and effectiveness of the new measures.
