‘Clear stand on utilisation of funds till suspension is revoked’
The Delhi High Court on Monday sought response from the Centre on a petition by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) challenging the suspension of its registration for 180 days for alleged violations of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA). The High Court also granted time to the Centre’s counsel to get instructions on permitting the CHRI to utilise 25% of the amount received as foreign funding till the suspension of its registration is revoked. The court also asked the Centre’s counsel to take instructions if it would allow CHRI to receive foreign fund in the future, subject to not utilising them without permission of the authorities or of the court.More Related News
