A division bench of the Allahabad High Court has issued separate interim orders regarding a National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) investigation into 558 government-aided madrasas in Uttar Pradesh. The bench was hearing a writ petition filed by the Teachers Association Madaris Arabia, which challenged the investigation initiated by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in Lucknow following NHRC intervention. Justice Atul Sreedharan criticized the NHRC for not taking action against incidents of violence targeting the Muslim community, suggesting that the commission should focus on such matters instead of investigating the madrasas. In contrast, Justice Vivek Saran disagreed with Sreedharan's remarks, arguing that it was inappropriate to make adverse observations without the NHRC being present in court. The NHRC had ordered the investigation after a complaint by Mohammad Talha Ansari, alleging that the madrasas were receiving government grants improperly. The court has adjourned the case for further hearings, emphasizing the need for proper representation of all parties involved.
