Can these powers be utilized to ensure a thorough investigation into any matter?
Yes, these powers can be utilized to ensure a thorough investigation into any matter. The Commission has the authority to summon and enforce the attendance of any person from any part of India and examine them on oath, require the discovery and production of documents, receive evidence on affidavits, requisition any public record or copy thereof from any court or office, and issue commissions for the examination of witnesses and documents. This allows the Commission to gather necessary information and evidence to conduct a thorough investigation into any matter related to the protection, welfare, and development of socially and educationally backward classes.
