The petitioner, who has filed the present Public Interest Litigation (hereafter PIL), appears in person. He seeks that directions may be issued to the National Commission for Women, to invoke its powers under Section 10

(1) of The National Commission for Women Act, 1990, to inquire into the fundamental and human rights violations in the Indian Film Industry. The petition is premised on the report furnished by Justice (Retd.) K. Hema Committee dated 31.12.2019. A plain reading of the petition indicates that the petitioner seeks that a similar inquiry in respect of the Indian Film Industry be also conducted. In addition, the petitioner prays that the report of Justice (Retd.) K. Hema Committee be produced in its un-redacted form for ensuring transparency and comprehensive justice. 2.

In the given circumstances, we do not consider it apposite to accede to the prayer for issuing any directions for the un-redacted report to be placed in public domain.
