Answer: C
The Commission will seek a report from the Central Government.
Section 19 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 lays down a special procedure for the armed forces. When dealing with a complaint of human rights violation by members of the armed forces, the Commission may, on its own motion or on a petition, only seek a report from the Central Government. After receiving the report it may either decline to proceed or make recommendations to the government, which must inform the Commission of the action taken within three months.
The Commission cannot investigate such complaints itself, as it can for other public servants, and it has no power to direct police officers to inquire into the armed forces, so those options are wrong.
