NHRC gave compensastion without taking witness statement


17-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)

I've filed a case against my husband including my in-laws for dowry torture, on the basis of which police arrested them before sunset in my presence. But my mother-in-law filed a false case that she was arrested after sunset and got Rs.50,000 as compensation.In a public website I mentioned that they have lied and NHRC has awarded compensation to her without taking my statement, as I am the prime witness and the action was done on the basis of my case. So in a democratic country like INDIA do I have the right to speak the truth when the matter is sub judice?

An application for judicial review (Writ petition)can be filed in High Court against the order passed by NHRC without admitting your statement.
