18 EXPERtENCE OF THE WORKING OF THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ACT, 1993 prevent those who have violated human rights from escaping its net. When there is an attempt at concealment, the Commission should find it possible to pierce the veil of evasion and reach the truth.It is a well established principle relating to the wording of statutes that their texts must not lend themselves to interpretations that defeat the very intention of the legislation and lead to unreasonable and untenable consequences. The Commission, therefore, calls upon the Central Government once again to respond positively to the proposals it has made for the amendment of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. It also expresses the hope that, before the position of the Central Government is finalised, if there should be any matters requiring clarification or an exchange-of-views with the Commission, such discussions take place, with a view to ensuring that the high Objects and Reasons of the Act are indeed served in the manner that they require and deserve.
