The correct answer is 31st October 2019. Explanation & Key Takeaways: • The Jammu & Kashmir Human Rights Commission was an autonomous state body with quasi-judicial powers tasked to investigate any violation of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir, India. • The body was constituted in January 1997 by the National Conference government under the Protection of Human Rights Act. • The commission consists of a chairman and four other members. • After the abolition of Article 370 of the Constitution, the Jammu and Kashmir administration – which is directly controlled by the Central government has shut down seven government commissions, including those dealing with human rights, the right to information, the rights of the disabled, and allegations against public functionaries. • An official order was issued that said a total of seven state commissions would cease to exist with effect from October 31. • No reason for their dissolution has been given. • The commissions being wound up are the: • Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) • State Information Commission (SIC) • State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (SCDRC) • State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) • State Commission for Protection of Women and Child Rights (SCPWCR) • State Commission for Persons with Disabilities (SCPwD) • State Accountability Commission (SAC). • All that the official order, issued by the state’s General Administration Department said was that “consequent upon the repeal of the acts related to these commissions by the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, the sanction is hereby accorded to the winding up of these commissions, with effect from October 31, 2019”. • Hence option 1 is correct.
