If you're wondering whether the NHRC has the ability to prosecute, the answer is no. The NHRC is not a prosecutorial body, but an investigative and advisory entity. After conducting an inquiry, the Commission might take several measures, which include:
- In cases where the inquiry reveals a public servant has violated human rights or shown negligence in preventing such violations, the Commission can recommend to the relevant Government or authority to initiate proceedings for prosecution or any other action it deems appropriate against the involved individuals.
- The Commission can approach the Supreme Court or the concerned High Court for any directions, orders or writs that these Courts might consider necessary.
- The NHRC can recommend the relevant Government or authority to grant immediate interim relief to the victim or their family members, as deemed necessary by the Commission.
