Section 36. In conducting the examination, if the Commission deems that the human
rights violation is an individual case, it shall notify the concerned state or private agency and
request it to redress such human rights violation in accordance with its duties and powers
within a period of time prescribed by the Commission, which shall not be less than sixty days.
The Commission shall also propose appropriate measures or guidelines for the prevention or
redress of such human rights violation, including provision of remedy for the person affected by
the human rights violation, as the case may be.
Any concerned state or private agency shall take actions as notified within a period of
time prescribed in paragraph one and inform the Commission of the result of its actions within
the period of time as specified by the Commission.
In the case where a concerned state or private agency cannot take actions as they are
not within its duties and powers, or the petitioner has exercised his or her right in bad faith, or
the problem has been appropriately solved, or there is any other necessity, such agency shall
so inform the Commission before the period of time under paragraph one has lapsed.
In the case where a concerned state or private agency has not taken actions within the
specific period according to paragraph two or paragraph three without reasonable justification,
the Commission shall prepare a report and submit it to the Cabinet.
Section 37. In the case where any violation of human rights constitutes a criminal
offence and the injured person is not in a position to file a complaint or denunciation on his or
her own, the Commission or the person assigned by the Commission shall have the power to
do so which shall be regarded as the injured person under the Criminal Procedure Code.

and deems it necessary to take urgent action as further delay would put the life or security of
the person subject to human rights violation in danger, or it would not be possible to provide
remedy later, the Commissioner may notify and request the competent authority to provide
assistance and remedy to the person affected by the violation of human rights according to its
duties and powers and then notify the Commission. In case of unavoidable necessity, the
Commissioner may order an administrative official or a police officer in nearby area or a
competent official to provide assistance as he or she deems appropriate.

been ordered according to paragraph one to comply with that order.
