The Telangana High Court on Wednesday said the State Human Rights Commission cannot pass orders in property related matters.
A bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice T. Vinod Kumar, hearing a petition challenging an order of SHRC to main status-quo in a property dispute related matter, said such orders would not be legally valid. The bench said the Supreme Court, in G. Manikyamma vs Roudri Co-operative Housing Society case, had ruled that law did not authorise HRC to adjudicate property-related matters.
The SHRC had passed a direction in a property dispute pertaining to Kokapet of Gandipet mandal in Ranga Reddy district. The plea was filed challenging this order.
