Delhi High Court requests Centre's response on CHRI plea

The Delhi High Court has requested a response from the Union Government regarding a plea from the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI). The CHRI is challenging the cancellation of its Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) registration. The CHRI claims the cancellation, made on September 12, 2024, violated its rights by not allowing it to be heard. The organization argues that the cancellation was based on incorrect facts and lacks proper justification. Previously, the CHRI's FCRA registration was suspended in June 2021. The organization asserts that it used foreign contributions appropriately and that the government has not proven any misuse of funds.
