Introduction
“Human Rights” means the rights relating to life, liberty, equality and dignity of the individual guaranteed by the Constitution or embodied in the International Covenants and enforceable by courts in India.[1]
In India, rule of law states that no person shall be subjected to harsh, uncivilised or discriminatory treatment even when the object is the securing of the paramount exigencies of law and order.[2] Under Constitution of India, Article 14 does states that there should be no discrimination on any basis.[3]Human rights include all such rights which are necessary for a person to live a free, comfortable and proper life. An individual does not just have the right to sustain life but has a right to enjoy it with dignity. One can not be said to have dignity if basic necessity such as clothing, food, shelter, education, health-care, etc is missing[4]. Human rights in India are very hard to fully implement due to overpopulation and increasing poverty. The government considers a human right commission to look into human right violations.
To know the procedure of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), we need to know the functions and limitation of the commission and major issues in India. NHRC works for the protection of human rights when there is violation of any human right on any citizen of the country. It helps people to make their life comfortable and protects them from violation of their rights.
