Primary school children of Vagji Faliya, Jhabua, MP, falling sick a er having mid-day meal Case No: 913/12/23/2020 The complainant alleges that 29 primary school children fell sick a er having mid- day meal in the school. Among those 29 children, a few are in very cri cal condi on. The complainant further alleged that this incident occurred due to negligence of the concerned authori es. The Commission considered the material placed on record and from the perusal of same it was apparent that the 29 school children and five Anganwadi children got sick a er having meal and were administered treatment. From the ac on taken/ suspension against the Primary Educa on Teacher, strengthens the fact that there was a negligence while preparing and serving the mid-day meal which led to 34 children falling in cri cal condi on and one girl was referred to another resourceful healthcare facility for be er treatment. Although no loss of life happened in the ma er, there was viola on of human rights of all 34 children who suffered and, consequently, all were en tled to compensa on for their physical pain and suffering and mental agony and anguish. Therefore, the Commission directed its Registry to issue Show Cause No ce u/s 18 of the PHRA to the Govt. of Madhya Pradesh through its Chief Secretary, as to why the Commission should not recommend a compensa on of Rs. 10,000/(Rupees Ten Thousand only) each to 33 children (As listed in inquiry report dated 30 November 2019 of Chief Execu ve Officer, District Panchayat, Jhabua). The child with cri cal condi on would be en tled to compensa on of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fi y Thousand only) as her Chapter 7 - Thematic Areas condi on was deteriorated and referred to another hospital for be er treatment where she remained hospitalised for a longer period. In response it was informed that depart- mental ac on was taken against erring teacher and a new management was placed to take care of mid-day meal and it was also confirmed by the authori es of Madhya Pradesh that the grant of compensa on recommended by the Commission was paid to all the 34 vic m children. The Commission closed the case on 14 November 2022. 7.5 Rights of LGBTQI+ 7.5.1 The Transgender community is one of the most marginalised communi es in the country because they do not fit into the general catego- ries of gender, i.e., 'male' or 'female'.
