National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairperson Justice Arun Mishra has said that the Commission does not need extra powers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to India Legal in an exclusive interview, Justice Mishra held that 95 percent of recommendation made by the Commission was endorsed by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per the NHRC Chairman, the rights body has powers to initiate probe and an independent investigative team, which has cracked many significant cases in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement of Justice Mishra gains significance in view of the demand made by many concerned parties for more teeth to the national human rights body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2020, the then chairman of NHRC Justice H.L. Dattu had said that the Commission needs more power to become a ‘toothful’ tiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
