NHRC, India reported that from the DNA report of the skeleton received, it could not be established that it belonged to the missing son of the complainant. The case was investigated by CBCID, which concluded that the missing boy had not been recovered so far and there was enough evidence of his abduction by the accused persons. 12. iii. After persistent follow up, the State submitted reports dated 15.11.2019 and 11.12.2019 on perusal of which the Commission observed on 01.01.2021 that there was sheer negligence on the part of the police authorities who did not act on time, due to which the victim was not recovered. The delay in registering an FIR led to the loss of vital pieces of evidence in the case. This was a gross violation of the rights of the complainant and therefore the State was vicariously liable. The Commission issued a Show Cause Notice u/s 18 of the PHR Act to the concerned State through its Chief Secretary as to why monetary compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- should not be recommended to be paid to the mother of the victim. iv. Since no reply had been received in response to the Show Cause Notice, the Commission, vide its proceedings dated 05.04.2021, confirmed the recommendation of monetary relief, assuming that the State authority had nothing to urge in the matter. The Commission directed IGP PHQ U.P. Lucknow, to submit the report on profiling of DNA report to establish the identity of the skeleton in the matter along with the Action Taken report against the erring police official within prescribed time frame. v. The Commission received communication dated 04.01.2022, of compliance from the State authorities informing therein that compensation of Rs. 1,00,000/- was sanctioned and the same would be recovered from the erring police officials in accordance with the Rules. vi. The Commission on 01.02.2022 noted the CBCID enquiry report that the missing boy had not been recovered, and enough evidence of his abduction by accused persons was found and a chargesheet was filed against all of them, and monetary compensation of Rs 1,00,000/was also sanctioned for delayed registration of FIR, which will be recovered from the errant police officers.
