Annual Report 2009-2010
4.5
In comparison to the large number of complains being registered in the Commission upto
2007-2008, the number of complains registered during 2009-2010 was distinctly less. However,
as in the past, the largest number of complaints registered was from the State of U�ar Pradesh.
Out of the total number of complaints registered by the Commission, U�ar Pradesh accounted
for 51,270 (62 per cent) complaints, followed by Delhi with 5,228 (6 per cent) complaints and
Haryana coming third with 2,921 (3.5 per cent) complaints. It once again goes on to show that
the establishment of SHRCs has so far not brought out any significant reduction in the number
of complaints being received by the NHRC as more than 85 per cent of the complaints received
were from the States having their own Human Rights Commissions.
