Jammu, Dec 23: National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken a strong note of Jammu and Kashmir Government’s apathy towards the plight of terrorism affected family of Rajinder Premi of erstwhile J&K State.
In a latest direction the NHRC has stated that the Commission observes that despite direction, the Chief Secretary of Jammu & Kashmir has not submitted any report in the case till date. “Having observed so, the Commission directs its Registry to issue final reminder to the said authority calling for submission of report as called for vide direction dated 30/8/2020 within four weeks failing which the Commission will be constrained to invoke its coercive power u/s 13 of the PHR Act,1993 calling for personal appearance of the authority concerned before the Commission.”
The NHRC asked the Registry to forward the copy of complaint and last direction to the J&K Chief Secretary, for submission of requisite report within stipulated time frame.
According to the details available with Early Times the NHRC took the cognizance of an instant complaint dated 15-7-2020 regarding government apathy to the plight of terrorism affected family of erstwhile J&K State. The Commission directed: “It is amply clear that the main grievance of the complainant is the non-implementation of the SHRC's judgment and order dated 22.2.2012 and since the SHRC is ceased to have any existence due to abrogation of Article 370 and Introduction of Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act 2019, the complainant has come before the National Human Rights Commission with a prayer that Commission may intervene immediately for getting order implemented passed by the SHRC.”
“Since the complainant has approached the NHRC with a cause of violation of human rights and in the context of denial of remedy despite order of the SHRC, NHRC is competent and having jurisdiction to intervene in such matter and therefore taking into consideration of various issues which have been raised by the complainant and in view of the reasoned order passed by the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission and on the grievance of the mother of the complainant and inaction on the part of the government machinery to take actionable decision,” the NHRC stated.
It said, “The Commission is of the opinion to issue notice to the Chief Secretary, Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir asking him as to why full relief should not be granted to the complainant in terms of judgment and order of the erstwhile State Human Rights Commission of Jammu & Kashmir vide order dated 22.02.2012 within four weeks. The Commission makes it clear that there is no limitation u/s 36(2) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 to take up the issue by the National Human Rights Commission on ground that the decision has already been taken by the Jammu & Kashmir State Human Rights Commission and due to non-existence of it, the jurisdiction has been granted to the NHRC, and the Commission is competent to proceed further with this case.” |
