On what ground(s) can the National Commission for Minorities refuse to admit a complaint?

The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) can refuse to admit a complaint on several grounds:

1. Time Limit: If the complaint is not filed within one year of the incident, the NCM may refuse to admit it. However, the commission may admit complaints after the one-year period if it is satisfied that the complainant had sufficient reasons for not filing the complaint within the stipulated time.

2. Subject Matter: The NCM may refuse to admit a complaint if the subject matter does not fall within its jurisdiction. The NCM deals with matters relating to the protection of the rights of the Minority communities in India. If the complaint does not pertain to this, it may be rejected.

3. Vexatious Complaints: The NCM may refuse to admit a complaint if it is frivolous, vexatious, or is not made in good faith.

4. Pending Cases: If the subject matter of the complaint is pending before a State Commission or any other Commission duly constituted under any law for the time being in force, the NCM may refuse to admit it.

5. Subjudice Matters: If the subject matter of the complaint is subjudice before a court or tribunal, the NCM may refuse to admit it.

6. Anonymous/Pseudonymous Complaints: The NCM may refuse to admit a complaint if it is anonymous or pseudonymous.

Please note that this is a general guideline and the NCM may have more specific rules and regulations regarding the admission of complaints.
