National Human Right Commission the Constable gave beating on his hand. Dr. T. Ayyanar also stated during the inquiry that Pathampriyan was taken to Madurai Rajaji Hospital for treatment of wound in the right eye. The Commission would not, however, go deep in this aspect in view of the opinion given by the Dean, Rajaji Government Hospital, Madurai. Even if, the Commission accepts the contention that the loss of vision in the right eye was not due to beating by the police, it is established Chapter - 4 Pathampriyan was being beaten, he kept his hand on the head and by reliable evidence that the boy was subjected to torture during interrogation by the police. The Commission, therefore, recommends to the Government of Tamil Nadu to pay a sum of Rs. 50,000/(Rupees Fifty Thousand only) as monetary relief to the victim boy. If the Hon’ble High Court eventually finds that the loss of vision in the right eye was caused by police beating and a higher amount of compensation is awarded by the Hon’ble High Court, the amount of Rs. 50,000/- shall be adjusted. Chief Secretary, Government of Tamil Nadu shall submit the compliance report with proof of payment within eight weeks.” 4.53 On compliance of its recommendation, the Commission closed the case. 12.
