Mumbai, October 12, 2026: The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) has recommended a compensation of ₹2 lakh to a Solapur woman whose minor son's rights were violated due to the Education Department's failure to protect his dignity. The commission, chaired by member Sanjay Kumar, found the Education Department's conduct to be non-responsive in their handling of the situation.
The inclusion of details of a criminal case against the minor in his school leaving certificate adversely affected his academic career, violating his human rights to life, liberty, and dignity. The commission ordered the state government to pay the compensation within two months, with interest accruing at 8% if payment was not made on time.
