1. This writ petition seeks a direction by this court to the respondents to fulfill its obligations in terms of the Genocide Convention and Treaty Laws, 1948 by having proper deterrent legislation for the offence of genocide. The writ petition has been filed without making any representation to the respondent. In any case, the writ would otherwise be not maintainable as this court does not have the power to issue directions to the respondent to effect any legislation. 2017:DHC:7264-DB W.P.(C)No.9872/2017
