<h1>Stay on NHRC-ordered probe into 558 aided madrassas challenged, petitioner cites Sections 12, 12-A and 36(2)</h1> The Allahabad High Court stayed an Economic Offences Wing investigation into 558 aided madrassas ordered by the National Human Rights Commission and sought responses after a petition challenged NHRC orders and a consequential government inquiry order. The petitioner argued the NHRC exceeded jurisdiction, invoking the Protection of Human Rights Act: outlining functions under Section 12, the one-year limitation in Section 36(2), and the conditions for inquiries in Section 12-A, contending none apply and the complaint is vague and undated so timeliness cannot be ascertained. The court issued notice to respondents, fixed the next hearing and directed replies within four weeks.
