Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Mirrors the NHRC at the state level to address violations within state jurisdiction. Chaired by a former Chief Justice of a High Court, it examines human rights abuses involving police or other state agencies. It can inspect prisons, recommend measures to prevent custodial torture or exploitation, and propose policy changes. Although it enhances local accountability, its effectiveness hinges on government cooperation and resource allocation. Limited powers to enforce orders hamper impact. Still, SHRC provides a closer forum for citizens to seek redressal, complementing NHRC’s broader national oversight. Adequate staffing and supportive state policy can boost its efficacy in safeguarding rights.
