Violation of Principles of Natural Justice - Several sources highlight that actions taken by the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) often violate natural justice principles, such as denying hearings or failing to provide adequate opportunities to affected parties (01500048233, 00300025755, 01400033735). For example, orders without hearing or based on incomplete procedures are deemed invalid.
-
Timeliness and Jurisdictional Limits - The SHRC is expected to complete inquiries within specific timeframes (e.g., two weeks as per Regulation 17(f)), but delays and exceeding jurisdictional limits are noted issues (02100091153). Complaints beyond the prescribed period may still be entertained if justified.
-
Compensation and Reparation - The right to reparation for victims of human rights violations is gaining recognition. Courts and commissions have recommended compensation in cases of custodial deaths, illegal detention, and unlawful arrests, emphasizing the importance of adequate investigation and accountability (INDGAU00000109142, INDMAD00000497710, 00100056230).
-
Order Validity and Procedural Fairness - Orders without proper legal basis or violating statutory provisions are challenged successfully, such as in cases where the Commission's directives exceeded its powers or lacked legal authority (01500048115, 00800043416).
-
Recommendations and International Principles - There is a focus on aligning national practices with international standards, such as the UN's draft principles on reparation rights for victims, emphasizing the evolving recognition of victims' rights and the importance of effective remedies (00100056230, 00500027483).
Analysis and Conclusion:
The main principles underpinning human rights violations by the Kerala State Human Rights Commission and similar bodies include violations of natural justice, procedural delays, overreach of authority, and inadequate reparations. Courts have increasingly emphasized the need for fair procedures, timely investigations, and just compensation, aligning with international standards on victims' rights. Ensuring adherence to legal frameworks and procedural fairness remains crucial for safeguarding human rights and maintaining the legitimacy of such commissions (K. N. Keshava Panicker, S/o. Neelakandan Pillai VS Vijayamma Mohanan - Kerala, K. H. Manjunath VS State of Karnataka represented by the Secretary to Government - Karnataka, M. Mahendran VS K. A. Anthony - Madras, SMTI. SHIPRA DEY W/O MR. MANILAL DEY vs THE STATE OF ASSAM AND 3 ORS - Gauhati).
