He was taken to the hospital but he died on 11 July 2007, while under treatment. 4.82 While considering the matter on 29 October 2010, the Commission observed that in the instant case, nothing more was required to be discussed in view of the fact that the police had investigated the matter and also filed a charge-sheet in FIR No. 322 on 10 August 2007 against the Sub-Inspector Narender Singh. It was further observed on the basis of available records that Sub-Inspector Narender Singh was convicted on 9 November 2009 for an offence punishable u/s 304 (II) and was sentenced to imprisonment for a period of two years and was also ordered to pay a fine of Rs. 20,000 by the Additional Sessions Judge, Chandigarh. In view of these findings, it goes without saying that a precious human life was lost on account of police apathy. 4.83 Under the circumstances, the Commission directed that a notice be issued to the Chief Administrator, Union Territory of Chandigarh to show-cause as to why monetary relief should not be paid to the next of kin of the deceased Anil Kumar. 4.84 The Commission vide its proceedings dated 2 February 2011 considered the response received from the Home Secretary, Union Territory Administration of Chandigarh and recommended to the UT Govt. to pay an amount of Rs. 5, 00,000 to the next of kin of the deceased, Anil Kumar. The compliance report and proof of payment are awaited in the case. Para-Military/Defence Forces Custody 19.
