law: Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 
  36.Matters not subject to jurisdiction of the Commission.-
  (1)
  
  The Commission shall not inquire into any matter which is pending before a
  
  state Commission or any there Commission duly constituted under any law for the
  
  time being in force.
  (2)
  
  The Commission or the State Commission shall not inquire into any matter after
  
  the expiry of one year from the date on which the act constituting violation of
  
  human rights is alleged to have been committed.
  Comment: "The power and jurisdiction of this Court under Article 32 of the
  
  Constitution cannot be curtailed by any statutory limitation, including those
  
  contained in Section 36(2) of the Act. If this Court can exercise that power
  
  unaffected by the prohibition contained in Section 36(2), there is no reason
  
  why the Commission, at the request of this Court, cannot investigate or look
  
  into the violations of human rights even though the period of limitation
  
  indicated in Section 36 (2) might have expired. In such a situation, the
  
  Commission will not be affected by the bar contained in Section 36(2) and it
  
  will be well within its rights to investigate the matter referred to it by this
  
  Court."  Paramjit Kaur, Petitioner v. State of Punjab AIR 1999
