NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION The case was pending trial before the Court. The report admitted that in the circumstances narrated above, the above police officials have, prima facie, violated the human rights of the deceased, especially the right to life of the victim Manoj Rana. Hence, compensation may be given to the next of kin of deceased Manoj Rana. 4.27 The Commission again considered the matter on 23.05.2017 and recommended a monetary compensation of `  5,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lakhs only) to be paid to the next of kin of the deceased Manoj Rana for violation of human rights. 4.28 Pursuant to the directions of the Commission, the Additional Commissioner of Police/ Complaint (Vigilance) Delhi submitted the report dated 12.01.2018 along with proof of payment of ` 5,00,000/- (Rupees Five lakhs only) to the next-of-kin of the deceased Manoj Rana. Since the monetary compensation has been paid to the next-of-kin of the deceased, the Commission closed the case on 31.01.2018. 4) Death of an Undertrial Prisoner, Kamal Singh, while in the Judicial Custody, in the District Jail, Baikunthpur, Chhattisgarh due to Medical Negligence (Case No. 614/33/10/2013-JCD) 4.29 The Commission received intimation from the Supdt. Distt. Jail, Baikunthpur, Korea, Chhattisgarh, that an UTP Kamal Singh died in custody on 24.07.2013 while undergoing medical treatment at District Hospital, Baikunthpur. 4.30 The Commission obtained the requisite reports from the authorities and examined the same. The Commission perused the records and observed that the younger brother of UTP Kamal Singh was beaten by Prem, Charku and Sushil in their village and when the deceased intervened to save his brother from these people, he was also beaten on the head and back with an iron rod. The deceased was arrested and was lodged in the jail on 20.07.2013. On 21.07.2013, the UTP complained of fever and was provided treatment in the jail hospital. When the condition of the UTP did not improve, he was referred to CHC Manendragarh for further treatment. The treating doctor did not carefully examine the UTP while checking up his condition. The health of the deceased was not good as he was having internal injuries on his head. The UTP was subsequently referred to District hospital, Baikanthpur on 24.07.2013, where he died during treatment on the same day. The CHC doctor had not recorded the injury of the UTP in the treatment chart and rather provided medicines for fever and bleeding rectum. There appears to be medical negligence on the part of the CHC doctors in diagnosing the actual disease (head injury) of the deceased UTP Kamal Singh. Hence, the Commission took the view that human rights of the deceased have been violated and for this the State must bear the liability. The Commission, therefore, issued a notice to the Chief Secretary, Government of Chattisgrah to show cause u/s 18 of the PHRA, 1993, as to why monetary 48 Annual Report 2017-2018
