While dealing with complaints of violation of human rights by members of the armed forces, the Commission under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 is not required to follow which one of the following procedures ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

Under Section 19 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, a specific procedure is prescribed for dealing with complaints of human rights violations by members of the armed forces. According to Section 19(1)(b), after receiving the report from the Central Government, the Commission may either not proceed with the complaint or make its recommendations to the Government.

  • Option B is the correct answer because the Commission is not required to proceed with every complaint; it has the statutory discretion to close the matter if the report is satisfactory. The use of "shall proceed" in the option contradicts the discretionary nature of the Act.
  • Option A is a valid procedure under Section 19(1)(a).
  • Option C is a mandatory requirement under Section 19(3).
  • Option D is a mandatory requirement under Section 19(4).
