The National Human Rights Commission has provided Delhi-based RTI activist Afroz Sahil the details of cases before the Commission concerning Jammu & Kashmir. The original RTI application (made under the Central RTI Act 2005) was received by the NHRC on 14 June 2010, and the reply was posted 12 July 2010, and the documents were provided to us recently by Mr. Sahil and are included in the following PDF.
