NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION, INDIA It transpires from the case record that the victim was subjected to State action only on suspicion. Not an iota of evidence was produced in the court to connect him with any of the alleged crimes. He has been acquitted in 18 out of 20 terror cases for lack of evidence against him. It is held by the Court that there is absolutely no incriminating evidence against him and the prosecution has miserably failed to adduce any evidence to connect him with the charges framed. v. He was taken in the police custody at the age of 18 years. After spending 14 prime and precious years in jail, when he was supposed to take off his flights to fulfill the dreams of his life and that of his parents as well, he is set at liberty by the court of law at the age of 32-33 years. His life has been completely ruined. He has lost his parents and there is nobody to console him or listen to his trauma. His victimization for years together has widespread reactions in different National Newspapers. All the Newspaper reports are unanimous over the human rights violation of the victim and the Commission cannot afford to differ with the wisdom displayed by the courts and Media. vi. The Commission is also of the view that the sufferings faced by the victim had been long and arduous, and the damage caused to him by the conduct of the State Authorities is immense. In the circumstances, the State must compensate the damage caused by its officers to the victim. He has lost his parents, his career, his hopes, dreams and everything has been shattered. The Commission, therefore directed the Chief Secretary, Government of NCT of Delhi to show cause u/s 18 (a) (i) of the PHR Act, 1993, as to why a compensation of Rs. 5, 00,000/- should not be recommended to be paid to the victim. vii. In response, a compliance report is received in the Commission which revealed that an amount of Rs.5, 00,000/- as recommended by the Commission has been paid to victim Mohammad Amir.
