Explanation

The procedure for the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) regarding human rights violations by armed forces is governed by Section 19 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.

  • Statement 1: Under Section 19(1)(a), the Commission can seek a report from the Central Government either suo motu or based on a petition. Unlike other cases, it does not investigate these allegations itself.
  • Statement 2: Under Section 19(1)(b), after receiving the report, the Commission can either drop the complaint or make recommendations to the Central Government.
  • Statement 3: According to Section 19(2), the Central Government must inform the Commission of the action taken on its recommendations within three months or within an extended time period allowed by the Commission.

Since all three statements correctly describe the statutory procedure, the correct option is C.
