Allahabad High Court Stays Probe Into UP Madrasas, Questions NHRC's Focus

The Allahabad High Court issued a split verdict on a case involving the National Human Rights Commission's (NHRC) directive to investigate 588 madrasas in Uttar Pradesh. While one judge questioned the NHRC's focus, noting its silence on mob lynching incidents against Muslims and suggesting it oversteps its mandate, the court stayed the Economic Offences Wing's probe into the madrasas as prima facie illegal. The case will be further heard on May 11 to examine the legality of the NHRC's order and the state's response.
