protect and promote human rights, to hold if necessary public sittings, in which the appropriateness, reasonableness, propriety and the legality of the responses of the State Governments would be heard and discussed so as to enable the Commissions to decide whether further steps under Sub-sections (2) of Section 18 would be necessary to be adopted. 15.18 Thus understood, the existing provisions in the 'Act' could be seen to be adequate, provided they are imaginatively implementedfor the promotion and protection of Human Rights. 15.19 The Commission has drawn attention to the ambiguity as to the precise nature of offences that could be tried and the procedural issues governing the conduct of the business in the Human Rights Courts as envisaged in Sec.30 ot the Protection of Human Rights Act 1993. The Commission recognises that substantive amendments to Sec.30 of the Protection of -Human Rights Act, 1993 and other laws are necessary in order to enable the courts designated as human rights courts to fulfil the expectation that they would provide speedy trial of offences arising out of violation of human rights. The Commission, therefore, calls upon the Central Government to undertake the necessary legislation for this purpose at an early date.
