Whether National commission for women can issue directions like court in matrimonial matters?
Ltd. Vs. National Commission for Women MANU/MH/1256/2014 has also
held that the NCW cannot arrive at a conclusion or grant relief though can
make recommendations on the basis of such facts in the larger interest of
women. It was held that NCW has no jurisdiction to determine whether or
not there was an unfair dismissal or demand a letter of apology or direct
payment of compensation or grant relief by way of ordering payment of
bonus. It was reiterated that NCW functions in a recommendatory capacity
and is not an adjudicatory body and the provisions of Section 10(4) of the
NCW Act investing NCW with powers of a Civil Court do not entitle it to
arrive at findings of fact or to arrive at final conclusions or grant reliefs that a
Civil or Criminal Court can.
