Divulging the information in a written question by National Conference Parliamentarian from Anantnag, Hasnain Masoodi, Minister of State for MHA Nityanand Rai said that by virtue of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019, the Jammu and Kashmir Protection of Human Rights Act, 1997 has been repealed, and the application of corresponding Central Act i.e. The Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 has come into force.

Accordingly, he said, the erstwhile State Human Rights Commission in Jammu and Kashmir was wound up on 23 October 2019.

As per the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Adaptation of Central Laws) Order, 2020, notified on 18 March 2020, the functions relating to human rights in Jammu and Kashmir shall be dealt with by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).

“By virtue of the notification, the jurisdiction regarding Human Rights cases of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir vests in the NHRC,” he said as per the reply.

The total complaints that were pending before the Commission at the time of its winding up were 765, he said.

“National Human Rights Commission is a Statutory Body and Commission has autonomy in its functioning,” he said in reply to question whether any step is being taken by the Government to ensure early disposal of cases transferred from J&K Human Rights Commission to National Human Rights Commission after the bifurcation of the erstwhile State into Union Territory.
