It said the SHRC should "recommend guidelines and operational procedures on the investigation of cases of sexual violence, in line with Indian and international laws".
The application asked for directions to the state government for providing details on action taken reports on the recommendations of the SHRC in such cases. "The Jammu and Kashmir government provide details on all enquiries -- magisterial and under the Commission of Inquiry Act -- ordered in sexual violence cases and the results of these enquiries," Rather said in her plea.
The application was filed before the SHRC on the 27th anniversary of Kunan-Poshpora mass rapes allegedly by Army personnel.
A group of human rights activists tried to visit the alleged survivors in the north Kashmir Kupwara district but were prevented by the police from proceeding to the villages.
