## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRI MUKHTAR ABBAS NAQVI)

- (a) A  total  of  8,221  complaints/grievances  were  received  in  the  National  Commission  for Minorities  from  minority  communities  during  the  last  three  years  and  current  year.  This includes complaints from organizations/associations, as the Commission does not maintain a separate  record  of  complaints  from  organizations/associations.  Year-wise,  State-wise  and nature/category-wise details of complaints/grievances received by NCM for the years 201213, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 (up to 8 th December, 2015) are given in Annexure-I .
- (b) The  nature  and  types  of  complaints  range  from  personal  problems,  property  disputes  to alleged harassment by government officials. In cases deemed serious, the matter is referred to  the  State  Government  by  the  NCM  and  reports  called.  The  officials  of  the  State Government are also called to appear before the Commission in a quasi-judicial hearing in a few cases.
- (c) Complaints/Grievances are examined to see whether a prima-facie case for intervention by NCM is made out from the facts reported. Based on such an analysis, a report is sought from the respondent authorities. If they agree to redress the grievance or where the plea of the complainant is not tenable, the case reaches a finality. If the reply is not satisfactory, further action is taken and, if necessary, a hearing of the parties is  held  in  the  Commission. After hearing  both  sides,  the  Commission  finalizes  its  recommendations  and  the  same  are forwarded to the concerned authorities for appropriate action at their end, and a copy thereof is also forwarded to the complainant.

## Year-wise details of action taken are given hereunder:

- (i) 2012-13 - In the year 2012-13, 2127 complaints were received, 1973   were disposed off and 154 pending at the end of the year.
