Two follows cases of PVCHRs’ intervention are mentioned in report:

Illustrative Cases Related to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Vulnerable Groups Dealt by NHRC

1.   Death of Three Workers Belonging to Scheduled Caste, while Working in the Manhole of Sewage Treatment Plant due to Poisonous Gas in District Meerut, Uttar Pradesh (Case No.29674/24/54/2011) The Commission received a complaint dated 25.07.2011 from Dr. Lenin, #PVCHR, Varanasi inviting attention to a newspaper report published in the Dainik Jagran dated 25.07.2011 captioned ‘Manhole me sama gai teen jindagi’. The newspaper report mentioned that on 24.07.2011, in Shatabadi Nagar, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh two workers, Udairam and Omkar, died while working in the manhole of sewage treatment plant and one Suresh also died due to poisonous gas in an attempt to save them. Since the manhole had not been opened earlier in accordance with the guidelines, gases had collected inside. No safety equipment had been provided for the workers. Intervention of the Commission was sought for adequate compensation to the families of the deceased as well as action against the guilty persons. The Commission, on 22.02.2012, considered the report received from DIG, Meerut Range, which revealed that Assistant Engineer, Meerut Development Authority had, on 24.07.2011, lodged a complaint about the death of the three persons. It was informed that the work of construction of manhole for joining sewers was awarded to Shri Mukesh Kumar and his representative Shri Mange Ram, who opened the plug of manhole without any prior information. This resulted in emission of poisonous gas resulting in 3 deaths. A case Cr. No. 355/2011 u/s 304 IPC was registered and Section 3(2)5 of the Schedule Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 was incorporated. One of the accused had been arrested and efforts were on to arrest the remaining accused. The report from the District Magistrate, Meerut, revealed that proposals for release of budget for payment of ` 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh only) each to the next-of-kin of the two deceased Udai and Suresh Sharma, under the Farmer Accident Insurance Scheme, had been submitted to the Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Revenue Parishad, Lucknow. No such proposal had been sent in the case of Omkar since he was not owner of any agricultural land, as per condition under the scheme. The report also mentioned that on the basis of collections made by the officials and staff of the Meerut Development Authority, the next-of-kin of the three deceased had been provided monetary relief of `1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh only) each. Apart from the criminal case registered, the firm had also been blacklisted. The Commission, on 27.09.2013, considered the material placed on record and noted that the work of construction of manhole for joining sewers was awarded by the State authorities to Shri Mukesh and due to negligence of his personnel, who opened the plug of manhole without any prior information resulting in the emission of poisonous gas led to 3 deaths regarding which Cr. No. 355/2011 u/s 304 IPC r/w Section 3(2)(V) of the Schedule Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 had been registered. The Commission observed that for this negligence, the State is vicariously liable. The Commission issued a notice to the Chief Secretary to show cause as to why monetary relief u/s 18 of the PHRA, 1993, be not recommended to be paid to the next-of-kin of the three deceased. The Commission also asked whether the Meerut Development Authority had laid down any Guidelines for safety of the sewage workers and their insurance under the relevant labour laws and any financial assistance had been given to the next- of-kin of the deceased to which they are entitled under section 3(2)(V) of the Schedule Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and Rules, 1995. Pursuant to the directions of the Commission, the Special Secretary to the Government of Uttar Pradesh, on 06.01.2015, has forwarded the report of the Vice Chairman, Meerut Development Authority, Meerut according to which it was clear that the sewer line had been laid by the Meerut Development Authority for the development of locality Shatabadi Nagar situated in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh and the entire allotment of houses and land has been done by the Meerut Development Authority. If, any accident occurs in the construction or repair of the sewer line, the Meerut Development Authority cannot escape from its liability along with the State Government of Uttar Pradesh. Although the work was entrusted to a private contractor, the Commission was of the view that the Meerut Development Authority, was the principal employer in this case and it was its duty to ensure that proper security arrangements were made for the workers, who are working over the sewer line, which is being laid under its direction. Thus, from the perusal of the papers available on record, it was established that Meerut Development Authority, being the principal employer, failed to protect the life of the workers and it was a prima-facie case of violation of human rights of the three workers, who had lost their lives while doing work in the sewer line and the next-of-kin of the deceased are entitled for monetary compensation from the State Government of Uttar Pradesh. Thus, the Commission recommended that a sum of ` 2,00,000/- (Rupees Two lakh only) each be paid to the next-of-kin of the deceased Uday, s/o Ramesh; Omkar, s/o Raghav; and Suresh, s/o Sauraj, by the State Government of Uttar Pradesh. This monetary compensation shall be in addition to the compensation, which is awarded, if any, to the next-of-kin of the deceased under the Employees Compensation Act, 2012. The compliance report along with proof of payment is awaited from the Chief Secretary, Government of Uttar Pradesh.

Latest direction in above cases: These proceedings shall be read in continuation of the proceedings dated 31.01.2017.
Commission directed Chief Secretary, Government of UP, to submit his comments along with the action taken on the recommendation of the Commission in six weeks.
Commission had drawn the attention of the Chief Secretary towards the judgement of Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in the matter of State of UP vs. #NHRC in WC No. 15570 of 2016 dated 08.04.2016.
No report has been received so far regarding the compliance.

A letter dated 11.05.2017 had been received from Under Secretary, Department of Home (Human Rights), Government of UP, Lucknow, addressed to the Chief Secretary for making payment as per the directions of the Commission. Similar letter was received earlier which is dated 12.09.2016. This shows that the Chief Secretary deliberately not complying the recommendation of this Commission despite the fact that the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court had categorically ruled that the recommendations are in the nature of directions which should be complied by the Government.

Taking all the facts into consideration, Commission directs that a summon u/s 13 of PHR Act 1993 to the Chief Secretary, Government of UP, to appear in person before the Commission on 09.02.2018 at 11 a.m. at NHRC Headquarters, New Delhi, along with the compliance made and proof of payment of the directions of this Commission.

However, if the report along with the compliance report is submitted one week earlier to the date fixed, the Chief Secretary, need not to appear before the Commission.
Illustrative Case Related to Rights of Elderly Persons Dealt by NHRC 1. Left Ear of an Elderly Person, who was Picked up by the Police Ensuing a Land Dispute, Pulled off and Uprooted, in P.S. Ahiroli, District Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh (Case No.43832/24/24/2013) Shri Lenin Raghuvanshi, a human rights activist, has drawn Commission’s attention to a newspaper report published in Dainik Jagran and Hindustan alleging suspension of 3 police officials due to uprooting the ear of an old man. As per complaint, three Constables of PS Ahiroli took away one old man Ram Laut, aged about 70 years, from his house over a land dispute with another person. At the police station, the two police constables caught the body of the victim and one of them, namely Shivram, pulled the left ear of the victim as a result of which, the victim fell down with serious bleeding injury. On enquiry by Circle Officer, Sadar, three Police Constables namely Vindresh Yadav, Ram Sagar Yadav and Shivram Bharti were found guilty and were suspended. As per report received in the matter, an FIR No. 181/2013 u/s 326/504/506 IPC and 3 (1) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act was registered at PS Ahiroli against the then SO and three Police Constables on the complaint of one Ram Janam, s/o Ram Laut. During investigation, the allegations against SI Neeraj Rai, constable Ram Sagar and Vindresh Yadav were found false. During investigation, it was revealed that the Constable Shivram Bharti had no intention to cause grievous injury to the victim, as such the crime was converted to Section 335 IPC. The offences u/s 326/504/506 IPC and Section 3 (1) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act were not made out against the constable Shivram Bharti as he belonged to the SC community. A charge sheet u/s 335 IPC only was filed by the IO against Constable Shivram Bharti alone. The Commission found the report highly unsatisfactory. The copies of medical report of the victim, copy of FIR, statements of victim and eye witnesses had not been enclosed. If there was grievous hurt caused to the victim by the accused, how could it be inferred that the accused had an intention to cause only simple hurt. It appears that the enquiry officer has only tried to save the police officials, the then SO and 2 other police constables from the legal consequences of the atrocity committed by them on a helpless old man. The matter needed an independent and fair enquiry. The Commission directed the DGP, Uttar Pradesh to get fresh investigation conducted into the offence through a Senior Gazetted Police Officer of CB/CID posted at the Hqrs. As per report received in the matter, on investigation of FIR No. 181/2013 u/s 326/504/506 IPC and Section 3 (1) (x) the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act of PS Ahiroli, the named accused SO Neeraj Kumar Rai, Constable Ram Sagar Yadav and Constable Virendra Yadav were not found involved in the incident, so, the above offences were converted into Section 335 IPC only. After investigation, Constable Shivram Bharti alone was found guilty and a charge sheet u/s 335 IPC was filed against him in the Court. During investigation, the alleged victim Ram Laut and his son Ram Janam told a different story that the victim sustained injury on his ear due to fall from his bicycle to the ground, but, the two constables who claimed themselves to be eye witnesses of the incident stated to the IO that Constable Shivram Bharti had caused grievous injury on the ear of the victim. The doctor who examined the injury on left ear of Ram Laut found the injury to be grievous in nature as the left ear was amputated. The doctor clearly opined during investigation that the said injury could not be caused by fall of the victim on ground. The IO, even after concluding that it was Constable Shivram Bharti who had caused injury to Ram Laut filed a charge sheet against him u/s 335 IPC instead of Section 325 IPC. The Commission considered the above report and observed that Section 335 IPC was inapplicable to the facts of the case as, prima facie, there was no allegation/evidence of grave and sudden provocation caused by the injured to the constable Shivram Bharti. Thus, the IO clearly failed to invoke the serious offence of Section 325 IPC, which was prima facie made out against the accused Constable Shivram Bharti. The CO and SP also failed to apply their mind to the facts collected during investigation. The SP, Ambedkar Nagar, UP was, therefore, directed to examine the report of investigation and to ensure that a supplementary charge sheet under appropriate section of law is submitted against the accused constable to the Court. He should also report if any monetary relief/compensation has been paid to the victim Ram Laut and whether his free medical treatment for the grievous injury suffered by him was arranged by the Administration. The report of investigation clearly showed that one police Constable of PS Ahiroli District of Ambedkar Nagar violated the human rights to life of the victim Ram Laut at the Police Station while posted on duty. The State Government is, therefore, prima facie liable to compensate the victim for the violation of human rights to life of a citizen committed by its employee. The Commission issued a notice to the State Government of Uttar Pradesh, through its Chief Secretary, to show cause as to why the Commission may not recommend u/s 18 of PHR Act, 1993 payment of ` 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh only) as monetary compensation to the victim Ram Laut. Compliance report and proof of payment is awaited.

Latest direction in above cases: These proceedings shall be read in continuation of the earlier proceedings of the Commission dated 19.4.2016.
The Commission vide proceedings dated 13.10.2014 directed the Chief Secretary, Government of Uttar Pradesh to submit compliance of payment of compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- to the victim Ram Laut. The matter relates to alleged beating of a senior citizen, namely, Ram Laut in District Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh by three police constables of P.S. Ahiroli. 
In response, the Superintendent of Police, District Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh vide communication dated 8.9.2016 has submitted the compliance report. Perusal of the same reveals that an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- as recommended by the Commission has been paid to Smt. Ganga Devi wife of the deceased Ram Laut vide cheque No.330262 dated 2.9.2016. Proof of payment has also been annexed.
The Commission has considered the matter. The criminal case registered against the delinquent police personnel is pending adjudication before the court. An amount of interim relief of Rs.1,00,000/- as recommended by the Commission has been paid to the wife of the deceased. The Chief Secretary, Government of Uttar Pradesh and the Director General of Police, Uttar Pradesh shall ensure that appropriate departmental action is taken against all the delinquent police personnel. With these directions, the reports received from the State Authorities are taken on record and the case is closed. 
Let a copy of these proceedings also be transmitted to the Deputy Director (M&C), NHRC and to the beneficiary for information.

Justice in the case of extra- judicial killing

One Soma Gudiya was killed in an encounter with Police on 20.08.11 in the jurisdiction of PS, Chota Nagara, West Singhbhum, Jharkhand during the course of operation against Maoists. The intimation of the encounter was sent to the Commission by the SP, West Singhbhum, Chaibasa, Jharkhand vide a communication dated 21.08.11. Accordingly the matter was considered by the Commission in its various proceedings and it sought reports from the concerned authorities from time to time.

 While considering the matter in its Camp Sitting at Ranchi on 08.09.16 and finding prima facie that the human rights of the deceased had been violated, the Commission directed issuance of notice u/s 18 of the protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 to the Chief Secretary, Govt. of Jharkhand to show cause within four weeks as to why an amount of Rs. Two Lakhs as compensation be not recommended to be paid to the NoK of deceased Soma Guidy@Etwa Munda@Laalo.

 In response to the directions of the Commission, CID, Jharkhand, Ranchi vide communication dated 07.09.16 informed that as per letter dated 06.09.16 of the IGP(HR), there is no provision under the State Govt. regarding payment of any monetary compensation to those who accidently die in anti-Maoist police operations. There are however few examples where compensation had been provided to the dependents of the deceased. It has been further informed that since deceased had neither any known criminal history nor had been found definitely to be a member of any Maoist group, the dependents of the deceased can be given compensation after due diligence.

 The Commission on consideration of various reports vide its proceedings dated 30.08.17 further observed that in view of the new revelation by the investigation carried out by CB/CID that the deceased was picked up from Village Baliba and subjected to graver violation of human rights by the police team. Hence to mete out justice, it was necessary to increase the amount of compensation to Rs. Five Lakhs from Rs. Two Lakhs recommended earlier. Accordingly an amount of Rs. Five Lakhs as compensation was recommended by the Commission to be paid to the NoK of the deceased Soma Gudiya@Etwa Munda@Laalo. 

Now DM-cum-DC, West Singhbum, Chaibasa vide communication dated 20.02.19 has submitted that Rs. 2,50,000/- each has been disbursed among Binod Munda, aged 14 years and Suraju Munda, aged 8 years sons of deceased. Proof of payment has also been enclosed.

 Similarly in Case No. 1206/34/18/2011 linked with instant case it has emerged that the complainant Shri Glandson Dundung alleged death of two persons namely Soma Gudia and Mangal Honhanga. In respect of Mangal Honhanga, Dy. Secretary to the Govt. of Jharkhand endorsed a copy of communication dated 31.10.18 addressed to the Jharkhand State Human Rights Commission, Ranchi submitting that Rs. Two Lakhs as monetary relief and class IV job has been provided to Smt. Mangari Honhanga, wife of deceased Mangal Honhanga.

 In view of the compliance of recommendation made by the Commission, the case is closed along with linked files.

 The CD of the post mortem, if any, available on record be sent to the concerned authority.

Threat to my life is judged at office desk in NHRC, I am left to live at Perpetrators’ mercy: Lenin Raghuvanshi

Since 1993, I am working as a full time Human Rights Defender, for rights of survivors, in India. I live under constant death threats for my human rights work. Threat, intimidation, attack, false implication and defamation are occupational hazards of the process of social transformation towards a plural democracy based on rule of law, dignity, diversity, non-violence and justice. But, mysterious non-support of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), a premier human rights institution of India, in my cases as a Human Rights Defender, is a real life-time surprise for me[i].
I am busy in supporting the NHRC to deliver justice for the survivors of Human Rights abuses, since its inception. However, some system in the NHRC is bent on helping malign my image, or delaying the support process, or eye-wash tactics in matters related to my rights as a Human Rights Defender. An urgent appeal of the Asian Human Rights Commission, based in Hong Kong, (The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India fails to provide adequate remedy to a human rights defender in Uttar Pradesh), is a classic example[ii].
Every time, the Honorable High Courts of UP and Delhi have provided me with immediate and effective remedies, in comparison to the Human Rights Defenders desk of the NHRC. I appealed to the NHRC for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) enquiry into the systematic attack on me and Shruti Nagvanshi, due to People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights' (PVCHR's) support to a woman survivor and her family. But, there is no step towards any independent investigation by the NHRC, or real time support by Human Rights defenders desk too. There is only one trend that justice delay is justice denied. (Case No. 42218/24/72/2012)
In this case, we criticized the national and international players through our writing on blog and emailing. Now, a few international players are involved, to oppose us to establish the era of 'corporate fascism' in context of 'sectarian fascism' of Hindutva[iii].
Simultaneously, Shruti Nagvanshi and Shirin Shabana Khan intervened in the case of rape of a Danish woman, at Paharganj police station in New Delhi. Both of them are first complaints to the NHRC, but the NHRC did not send a report to them for comment, and marked the case as a closed case'.
Edmund Burke rightly says, "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." So, we are continuously pursuing the case for justice. We received the consequence of false implication by the police of Paharganj Police Station in New Delhi. I, and associates of PVCHR, filed many petitions, but the NHRC responded as mere eye-wash tactics. We received surprised responses from the Home Ministry of India and office of Honourable President of India, but there is a mysterious silence of the NHRC. Why?
India should develop a national law for the protection of human rights defenders, and strengthen the capacity and mandate of the NHRC's focal point on defenders.
The NHRC needs to establish and resource a full-time dedicated focal point, to intervene in cases where human rights defenders are at risk, and to investigate and promote accountability where threats and attacks occur.
This matter concerns not only the life and the reputation of a human rights defender, but also the very legitimacy of human rights work in general.

Please find systematic interim directions of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) with other facts:
NHRC issued notice to concern authorities calling for a report within four weeks on 13 December, 2012.
Proceedings on 25 March,2013:
NHRC again issue a notice to SSP Varanasi for reports within a week sharing put on 6.6.2013.  Proceedings highlighted about no action by police.

Proceedings 26.09.2013:
Proceedings highlighted about apathy of police such as:
“……which shows that accused Shri Sunil Kumar Gupta, was being favored, while false cases were registered against complainant, who was trying to protect the rights of the victims, Smt. SapanaChaurasia. The accused Shri Sunil Kumar Gupta also threatened them and forced to reach a compromise, which was recorded and has been sent to the Commission in a CD. …… The complainant has alleged that the accused Shri Sunil Kumar Gupta,in collusion with the local police, is threatening the complainant and the victim with dire consequences, and their lives are under threat. The complainant has further alleged that he was threatened on 16 January, 2013 and matter was reported to the police but no action was taken. Thereafter, fake cases were registered against the complainant and his wife Shruti.”
“The Varanasi police officials have shown their anti-women attitude and are acting towards eliminating the human rights defenders. The complainant has requested that he along with wife Shruti, the victim SapanaChaurasia, the accused Sunil Gupta and concerned police officials should be summoned by the full Bench of the Commission to enquire in to matter in details; the offenders should be punished and adequate compensation should be recommended to the victims. He has requested a CBI enquiry of the entire matter and action against the delinquent police officials under section 166(A) IPC.” 
“  As the complainant, a human rights defender has alleged serious threat to his life and his false implication in connivance with police, let the Principal Secretary (Home) Government of UP,Lucknow be asked to have all the cases registered in this regards by complainant and his wife, investigated by CBCID and to submit an action taken report within eight weeks. The Senior Superintendent of Police, Varanasi, UP be asked to ensure safety and security of complainant Dr.Lenin Raghuvanshi, his family and the victim Smt.Sapna Chaurasia.”

But we did not receive any security from state and NHRC did not ask and make any follow up with state Government for security. It is noted that PVCHR issued urgent appeal titled “ Threats to human rights defenders of PVCHR and Women Survivors in Varanasi”.[iv]


Proceedings 24.01.2014:
NO report of CBCID investigation of case has been received. Issue a reminder to the Principal Secretary, Department of Home, Government of UP to expedite the matter and send within eight weeks the CBCID investigation report in matter.

It is noted that PVCHR already sent report of CB/CID to NHRC and also PVCHR made point’s wise comment on it and asked for CBI investigation. But NHRC report and direction made mysterious silence on it.
Proceedings 19.04.2014:
The Commission has perused the detailed notings of the investigation Division and the papers placed in the file.

Let Summons under section 13 of the PHR Act, 1993 be issued to the SSP, Varanasi to personally appear before the Commission on 20.2.2018 to explain his utter casual and callous attitude since the instant cases pertain to the year 2012.

Proceedings 05.11.2018:
The complainant activist alleges that victim girl namely Smt. Sapna was forcibly produced before a notary public for attestation of so=-called marriage with one Sunil Kumar Gupta. She despite complaint, no action has been taken by the police.
Vide earlier proceedings dated 15.12.2017, the Commission had observed that despite reminders and threat of coercive process no report has been received from SSP Varanasi regarding present status of FIR NO 199/2013, 4/2013, 359/2013 & 418/2013. Hence Commission had issued summons u/s 13 of PHRA against SSP Varanasi to personally appear before the Commission on 20.2.2018 to explain his utter casual and callous attitude since the instant case pertains to the year 2012. However if the report is received a week prior to the scheduled date, his personal appearance shall stand dispensed with.
          In response SP Crime Varanasi has inform the Commission vide report dated 27.8.2018, wherein its stated that in case no 359/13 u/s 307/452/341 IPC registered against the complainant, a final report was filed in the court and later on the investigation was handed over to CB/CID Lucknow wherein also again the same final report was filed after re-investigation. In case no 418/13 also a final report was filed in the court and later on the investigation was handed over to CB/CID Lucknow and again the same final report was filed u/s 323/504/506 IPC. In case no 199/13 a final report was filed in the court.
          The Commission has considered the material placed on record. As in all the FIR’s police investigation is completed and now the matters are before the court to adjudicate. Hence nothing left at this stage for the commission to proceed further in the matter. Therefore the case is closed, in from the complainant accordingly.
  
Summary of non action and manipulation by NHRC as follows:
  • 1.   NHRC website[v] talked about intervention in false implication. But in case of false implication of a human rights defender, NHRC did eye wash tactics. NHRC waited to bring cases before courts. NHRC provided a lot of time to CB/CID and police for that reason. I submitted details point-wise protest report of CB/CID and asked for CBI investigation, but smartly NHRC did not talk about my comments on CB/CID report.
  • 2.    NHRC gave interim direction for security of Human Rights Defenders and victim on 26.09.2013 and also highlighted gave security threat too. But NHRC did not make any effort for compliance of its own direction. It is a sign of dangerous trend for protection of Human Rights defenders.
  • 3.   I wrote a letter to Chairperson of NHRC on 26 July, 2013[vi] about action against responsible police official under 166 A, IPC. I also demanded to file FIR on threat to me on 20th Decemebr, 2012 and 16 January, 2013, but no mention about this demands and facts in NHRC direction.  I also asked for CBI investigation too. But NHRC procedures in my case played smart mysterious silence game in favour of perpetrators.
  • 4.   If you observed all proceedings then you find that NHRC provided al long time to police department which is a way to justice delay is justice denied.
  • 5.   I found an important fact that  Ms Jyotika Kalra ji assumed office as Member of the National Human Rights Commission on the 5th April, 2017[vii] and my case from Chairperson of NHRC to transferred to Smt. Jyotika Kalra and she provided direction on 15 December 2017 after proceeding on 19.04.2016.  She puts my case on 20 February, 2018. Then she resigned from NHRC on 2 January, 2018 (according media report) and then she rejoined on 7 March, 2018. According Scorll[viii], among other factors that had compelled her to resign, Kalra mentioned the body’s alleged inefficiency in spreading awareness about human rights, its tendency to close cases quickly. I shocked to know that she closed my case on 5 November,2018. And she did not mention previous directions of NHRC and it shows her tendency to close cases quickly and superficially.  


Please find follows detailed all directions of NHRC as follows:
