The Commission called for an action taken report in the matter from the authority concerned. Pursuant to the directions of the Commission, Additional Inspector General (Administration), Prison Administration and Correctional Services, Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow on 17.1.2014 had informed the Commission that the matter was enquired into by the Deputy Inspector General, Prison Agra. In his Enquiry Report, it is concluded that Amarjeet (Joga) had taken some money from the convict prisoner Sonu, son of Saveer, as a loan but the same was not returned. On 4.6.2013 they had a hot discussion and Amarjeet (Joga) had inflicted injuries to convict prisoner Sonu with stone. Consequently Sonu sustained head injury and injury over the face and he was shifted to prison hospital. The same day he was shifted to District Hospital, Agra, from where he was again shifted to Medical College, Agra. On the recommendation of the doctors, Sonu was shifted to Medical College, Lucknow. The doctor found a fracture over the face of Sonu. He had undergone an operation in Medical College, Lucknow and was sent back to Central Jail, Agra. Enquiry officer recorded the statement of Sonu who had informed him that proper treatment had been given to him by the administration. His release order had also been received in the jail on 26.12.2013. iii. On perusal of the material available on records, the Commission observed that it was clear that the Senior Superintendent of Jail, in his report dated 7.9.2013 had concluded that Head Warder Cheda Lal and Warder Abhey Ram had been found guilty of dereliction of duty and they had been departmentally punished. It was also clear that convict prisoner Sonu had sustained grievous injuries while in the custody of the Central Jail Agra. This indicates that the Jail administration had failed to protect the body of Sonu which is a clear case of violation of his human rights. Thus, victim Sonu was entitled for monetary relief. iv. Accordingly, the Commission directed the Chief Secretary, Government of Uttar Pradesh to show cause as to why the victim Sonu should not be recommended monetary compensation of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) from the State Government of Uttar Pradesh as per provisions of Section 18(a)(1) of Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. The said direction was complied with by the State Government. 19.
