3. We are distressed to Note that the Rajasthan State Human Rights Commission has been Without the services of the Chairperson since 16th July, 2010, i.e., for the last more than five years. This is totally unacceptable and in a sense subverts the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 (for short "the Act"). We also find that Human Rights Courts that are required to be set up under Section 30 of the Act have apparently Not been set up. In any event, there is No mention of the setting up of these courts in the affidavit filed by the State of Rajasthan.

4. Learned counsel for the State of Rajasthan says that he will check up the position and let us know the progress made and the steps taken in the appointment of the Chairperson of the Rajasthan State Human Rights Commission and for setting up of Human Rights Courts.

5. The affidavit of the Rajasthan State Human Rights Commission indicates that there is a tremendous staff shortage and in spite of several letters having been sent to the State Government
