Legal Light Consulting: Guiding NRIs to Justice Through the NHRC of India
When Authorities Fail, Human Rights Must Prevail
At Legal Light Consulting, we understand that justice delayed is justice denied—especially when public authorities fail to act lawfully.
For NRIs and Indian citizens alike, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) offers a powerful avenue to seek redress when constitutional rights are violated or ignored.
Established under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, the NHRC is a quasi-judicial body with the authority to investigate, summon, and recommend relief and accountability in cases of human rights violations.
It functions with the powers of a civil court and is committed to upholding the rights to life, liberty, equality, and dignity.
What Kind of Complaints Can Be Registered?
If you or someone you know has faced injustice due to inaction or abuse by police, administration, or other government departments, the NHRC may be the right forum to approach. Legal Light Consulting can help you file complaints related to:
