14 The Indian EXPRESS Dadri lynching serious violation of human rights, may take action: NHRC By: Express News Service, New Delhi Published:Oct 13, 2015, 2:48 On the issue of beef ban leading to serious law and order situation, Justice Joseph said even though the commission has not formed its stand on the complex issue, it is bound to protect the citizens right to food of their choice. Calling the lynching of a man at Dadri a very serious violation of human rights, the National Human Rights Commission Monday said it did not rule out the possibility of taking action over it. However, it said the law restricts it from acting since the matter has been taken up by the National Commission for Minorities. Dadri incident is a very serious violation of human rights and some complaints have come to us. But, under the statute, we have no jurisdiction to take cognizance of violation of human rights if another commission has already taken note of it. But we are exploring the possibility of doing something on it, Justice Cyriac Joseph, acting chairperson of the NHRC, told media persons. On the issue of beef ban leading to serious law and order situation, Justice Joseph said even though the commission has not formed its stand on the complex issue, it is bound to protect the citizens right to food of their choice. Reacting to cancellation of Pakistani Ghazal singer Ghulam Ali s concerts and the ink attack on Observer Research Foundation chairman Sudheendra Kulkarni on Monday, Justice Joseph said the commission will examine them.

15 NHRC sees Dadri 'pattern' Tuesday, October 13, 2015 New Delhi, Oct. 12: The country's top human rights body today hinted it might step in to probe last month's Dadri lynching although another panel had already taken cognisance of the incident and the law barred a parallel investigation. Justice (Retd) Cyriac Joseph, acting chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission, also spoke of an "unfortunate pattern" in the rising incidents of tension in the country, as the panel reacted sharply to Mohammad Akhlaque's September 28 murder over unsubstantiated rumours that the 50-year-old had eaten beef. The commission also said the "right to eat" was a fundamental right, indicating there was no constitutional bar on consuming beef. According to Section 36(1) of the Human Rights Act, 1994, the commission cannot take up any matter pending before a state panel or any other body constituted under any law that is in force. Justice Joseph acknowledged the provision. "We have a provision under which we have no jurisdiction of taking up the human rights violation if another court or body has taken cognisance as per section 36(1) of the Human Rights Act. "We understand the National Minority Commission has taken cognisance (of the Uttar Pradesh lynching). But still we are thinking of examining the question of exploring the position as it is a very serious human rights violation," the acting chairperson told a news conference. Asked if the commission saw any systematic pattern in the increasing incidents of communal tension in the country and the row over eating beef, Justice Joseph said: "There is some unfortunate pattern which involves serious issues and complex issues. Also, give us some time, we would like to examine the matter from that perspective also. We are not closing our eyes." NHRC members D. Murgesan, a retired judge, and S.C. Sinha, were also present at the conference organised on the NHRC's foundation day. Beef row Asked whether an individual has the right to eat beef or not, Justice Joseph said a citizen "has that right and the NHRC is bound to protect it" but added that the commission had not formed any general opinion on the row. "We have not formed any opinion. Bombay High Court has passed a judgment (upholding the temporary ban imposed by the Maharashtra government). We have not formed any opinion." On the murder of Kannada writer M.M. Kalburgi by some fanatics, the NHRC acting chief said: "Freedom of speech and expression is a very valuable fundamental right which should be

16 protected. We have issued notice to the Karnataka government. No complaint was received but we took suo motu action." The NHRC said between January 1 and October 10, the commission had inquired into more than 1.17 lakh cases, with Uttar Pradesh topping the list of rights violations followed by Odisha. The heartland state accounted for 53,333 cases, and Odisha 12,457. Haryana, with 10,920 cases, Delhi (7,648), Bihar (4,046), Rajasthan (3,163) and Madhya Pradesh (3009) are some of the other states on the dubious list.

17 Dadri Lynching Serious Violation of Human Rights: NHRC By PTI Published: 12th October :03 PM NEW DELHI: National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) today described the killing of a man in Dadri area of west UP last month as "serious" violation of human rights but expressed inability to take any action, saying the matter was already with the Minority Commission. The Acting Chairperson of the NHRC, Justice Cyriac Joseph, said that the panel had no jurisdiction to take cognisance of violation of human rights if another Commission has taken note of it. "Dadri incident is a very serious violation of human rights and some complaints have come to us. But, under the statute, we have no jurisdiction to take cognisance of violation of human rights if already another Commission has taken note of it. "This is the restriction of the statute imposed on us. Though from Mexico, I had given instructions to my office to take cognisance of the incident, the Minority Commission had already taken cognisance in the case and had issued notices," he said. However, Justice Joseph said he was exploring the possibility of doing "something" in the matter. "As minority commission is dealing with the case, we cannot proceed with it, however, we are examining it and also exploring the possibility of doing something in the matter," Justice Joseph said at 22nd Foundation Day of NHRC today. Section 36 (1) of the Act states that the Commission shall not enquire into any matter which is pending before a National Commission, State commission or any other Commission duly constituted under any law. On the issue of beef ban leading to serious law and order situation, Justice Joseph said even though the Commission has not formed its stand on the "complex issue", it is bound to protect the "citizens' right to food of their choice." Reacting to cancellation of Ghulam Ali's concerts in Mumbai and Pune and the ink attack on ORF chairman Sudheendra Kulkarni, Justice Joseph said that the Commission is concerned and will examine them. "We will be examining whether the state or its offices have failed in their duty in protecting and ensuring the freedom of the citizens of the country," he said adding that the whole society must be concerned with such incidents.

18 "We have a democracy here and all those who are involved in the democratic life of this country, be it the political parties, the law enforcement agencies or judiciary etc, everyone should be concerned," he said. The Commission has taken cognizance in the case of the Indian domestic worker, whose hand was allegedly chopped off by Saudi employer and has issued notices to External Affairs Ministry to take action in the matter. In the period between Oct 1, 2014 and October 8 this year has received a total 1,17,888 cases were registered in the Commission, out of which 98,460 cases were disposed off and in 19,428 cases, the final decisions are yet to be taken.

"The cases are violation of human rights of Indian citizens by the establishment or the government of that country where they live and their complaint is that...we have approached the Indian embassy but they have not helped us or protected out interests, so please intervene and request them so that they come to our rescue," said Justice Joseph.
