NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION 3.6.3. Revision and Decisions in course of Implementation of the Commission’s ruling S. No. Date of decision Meeting No. Decision No. 1 25 November 2003 60 8 Details of the decision : Since the concerned staff of the Home Ministry and Police Headquarters did not cooperate with it (Commission), but provided irrelevant, improper response to inquiry regarding the case of illegally keeping Khadga Bahadur Devkota in custody on 8 March 2001, the Commission sought the implementation of its decision dated 7 August 2001 for the Home Ministry’s action against those staff members. To this move, the Home Ministry through its letter of 1 March 2002 responded by defending their staff. It explained to the Commission that the Ministry and Police were cooperating in providing sought information, and not ill intentioned. The write petition in this regard previously filed with the Supreme Court over the habeas corpus has been quashed through the letter of 11 May 2001, citing that its stipulated date had expired back on 30 March 2001. The documents related to the write petition have already been dispatched to the Commission office. Hence, it needed no further action, and the Commission decided to apprise the government about this development. S. No. Date of decision Meeting No. Decision No. 2 25 November 2003 60 9 Details of the decision : In regard to the Commission seeking implementation of its decision on Pratap Man Shrestha, it received the letter (dated 23 May 2002) from the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers stating that the decision could not be implemented as per the Section 73 of the Civil Service Regulations, 2049. Since the government decision taken in case of Mr. Shrestha has contravened with the cases of Diwakar Dutta Pandey and Biswo Babu Tiwari, which are very much similar in nature, the Commission decided to make sure that the legal treatment be equal to all in the similar case as per the rights guaranteed by the constitution. It decided to apprise the government of its decision to implement equal treatment. S.
