    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to once again persuade the Minister to withdraw this amendment. I actually oppose it on the ground that even in a matter that has been dealt with in court, if human rights of a person are at issue, the Commission can go in and investigate and check what is going on. You will recall that this Commission was together with the Human Rights Commission. Let us not forget that this is human rights work. It is not talking of restoring that old case; it is talking of a situation where even though the court has determined the matter, say, between husband and wife, a matter of a child in danger, a matter of a person with disability, or any other person regarding issues of equality, this Commission can go in and investigate. I would urge that we leave it open, remembering that the matter you are thinking of, of endangering anybody else--- These are justifiable issues in a court of law; this is Bill that passed through very capable legal hands; this is a provision found in many other jurisdictions. I beg to oppose."
