Discussion
In relation to offences described under Section 175, Section 178, Section 179, Section 180 or Section 228 of the Indian Penal Code, the Human Rights Commission is to be deemed
Answer: B
The Commission is deemed to be a Civil Court.
Section 13(5) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 provides that the Commission shall be deemed to be a civil court for the purposes of section 195 and Chapter XXVI of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and every proceeding before it is deemed a judicial proceeding for the purposes of sections 193 and 228 of the Indian Penal Code. This lets it act against contempt such as refusing to answer, to sign a statement or to produce documents, and insulting or interrupting it, which are the offences under sections 175 to 180 and 228.
It is not deemed a criminal court or a revenue court, so the other options are wrong.
