On 4 October 2004, when the complainant visited his brother in the hospital, he complained that three employees of the hospital -- Mahesh Mota, Pothi Ram and Devki Nandan used to beat him at the instance of Dr. Saxena. The complainant talked to all the three employees and they told him to clear the account of Dr. Saxena as well as asked for a bribe of Rs.1, 000/-. On 6 October 2004, Rajender Kumar died in the hospital. Injury marks were noticed by the complainant on the forehead, eyes and near the ears of the deceased body. The complainant’s suspicion was that his brother had been killed by Dr. Saxena and the aforementioned three employees of Bareilly Mental Hospital. 4.254 Pursuant to the directions of the Commission, the Additional District Magistrate of Bareilly city submi�ed an enquiry report. On the basis of the evidence recorded, the enquiry officer concluded the deceased was severely beaten-up by the hospital a�endant Bala Sahai along with other mental patients Shalender Mehra and Bahadur Singh. As a result, the deceased’s small intestine was ruptured. He also held the Medical Officer and the staff of the Mental Hospital responsible for negligence in preventing the incident. However, allegations against Dr. Saxena were not substantiated during the course of the enquiry. 4.255 Later, it was informed that a departmental enquiry had been initiated against Dr. Saxena for negligence as the Medical Officer of Bareilly Mental Hospital. 4.256 On consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, the Commission vide its proceedings dated 13 April 2009 directed to issue notice under Section 18 (a) (i) of the PHRA to the Government of U�ar Pradesh. The Chief Secretary of the State was directed to inform the Commission of the action taken against the hospital a�endant Bala Sahai and mental patients Shalender Mehra and Bahadur Singh in terms of the inquiry report. 4.257 The Commission did not receive any response to the show-cause notice issued by it to the Chief Secretary, Government of U�ar Pradesh, despite reminders. A communication dated 30 September 2009 was later on received from the State Government informing that Dr. Saxena had been punished with ‘censure’ and stoppage of two increments. The report was silent about any action taken against the Hospital A�endant and others. 4.258 Since the Government of U�ar Pradesh failed to submit any response to the show-cause notice, the Commission presumed the State Government had nothing to say in the ma�er. The Commission on 3 November 2009 recommended to the Government of U�ar Pradesh, through its Chief Secretary, to pay a compensation of Rs.2,00,000/- to the next of kin of the deceased.
