Why did NHRC dismiss a complaint related to the Anil Masih case alleging SC verdict violation of rights

NHRC dismissed a complaint regarding the Anil Masih case, which alleged that the SC verdict violated rights.
  • The NHRC dismissed the complaint related to the Anil Masih case alleging Supreme Court verdict violation of rights due to lack of jurisdiction.
  • NHRC's mandate primarily focuses on human rights violations by public authorities and not on the decisions made by courts, such as the Supreme Court.
  • The NHRC cannot interfere with judicial proceedings or the verdicts issued by the courts, as it is an independent statutory body created to protect and promote human rights.
  • In this case, the complaint was outside the purview of NHRC's investigative powers, as it pertained to a legal judgment and not a violation of human rights by a public body.
