In a recent hearing at the Allahabad High Court in Prayagraj, two judges expressed differing opinions on the National Human Rights Commission's (NHRC) directive for an inquiry into 558 aided madrassas in Uttar Pradesh. Justice Atul Sreedharan criticized the NHRC for its apparent inaction on serious human rights violations against the Muslim community, questioning its focus on the madrassas instead. He expressed surprise that the NHRC would pursue such inquiries while neglecting cases of violence against Muslims. Conversely, Justice Vivek Saran disagreed with Sreedharan's remarks, noting that the NHRC was not represented in court and that the petitioner had only sought an adjournment without arguing the case. The case was adjourned, with the judges set to reconvene later. The NHRC's inquiry was prompted by a complaint alleging that the madrassas were colluding with officials from the Minority Welfare Department to receive government grants without adhering to required standards. The writ petition filed by the Teachers Association Madaris Arabia contends that the NHRC does not have the authority to initiate inquiries into alleged human rights violations after a year has passed since the incidents.
