| Sub : Complaint from |
LENIN RAGHUVANSHI |
| Subject: Action Taken Report Called for(ATR) -12689/24/22/2021. |
| Sir/Madam, |
| The complaint dated 14/05/2021, was placed before the Commission on 19/05/2021. Upon perusing the complaint, the Commission directed as follows: |
| The complainant shares a newspaper clipping which states that the victim, a 92-year-old inmate of the district jail of Etah was chained to bed during his treatment in a hospital. The ADG, Prisons has suspended a Jail warden for his negligence. It is a very serious matter. The Commission fails to understand what fear is there from a 92 years old inmate. It shows how insensitive and selfish the jail attendants were. From this incident, a further inference can be drawn, if a 92 year old ill person is chained to bed during his treatment, the persons who can really be a threat, would be treated in more inhuman and barbaric manner. Keeping a 92 years old ill person in Jails indicates towards malfunctioning of Sentence Review Boards in the State. The larger and Institutional issue is, for the protecting the Human rights of the prisoners, the functioning of Sentence Review Boards in the State of UP should be improved. Under section 433 Cr. PC and Prison Rules, the Government has powers to commute the Sentence through Sentence Review Board. Functioning of Sentence Review Board in professional manner is necessary to decongest jails and relieve the burden of Government form taking care of a 92 years old ill person. The Chief Secretary Govt. of U.P. be asked to explain as to 1. When was the last meeting of Sentence Review Board held, 2. How many cases are pending before Sentence Review Board, 3. How many sentences have been commuted by Sentence Review Board in year 2020 and 2019, and 4. What system is being followed in Jails for referring the matters to Sentence Review Boards. Let the report be sent within 6 weeks. |
| 2. Accordingly, I am forwarding herewith a copy of the complaint as an attachment for taking appropriate action in the matter as per the directions of the Commission. It is requested that an Action Taken Report be sent to the Commission within 6 weeks from the date of receipt of this letter. |
| 3. Any communication by public authorities in this matter may please be sent to the Commission through the HRCNet Portal (https://hrcnet.nic.in) by using id and password already provided to the public authorities (click Authority Login), or through Speed Post/ at email-id cr.nhrc@nic.in.
