In response, an enquiry report was received from the Superintendent of Police, Pilibhit stating that the police did not torture the deceased woman, though the local police party had gone to her house on 3 August 2004 in connection with a kidnapping case. It was further stated in the enquiry report that when the police reached the house of Rameshwar Dayal, his wife Dharmwati aged 45 years, ran and fell down after hitting a wall. She also sustained an injury over one of her eyebrows. The woman thus died on account of her own weakness on 4 August 2004 as appropriate treatment was denied to her by the family. No information regarding the death of the woman was furnished to the police station by anyone. 4.55 However, on the basis of an application submitted by Dharamwati’s husband, Rameshwar Dayal on 4 August 2004, a panchanama of the body and post-mortem was performed. A case u/s 147/148/149/304/34 IPC and u/s 3 (2) (v) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 was registered on 6 August 2004 at Bisalpur Police Station. Besides, the investigation of the case was transferred to the State CB-CID. 4.56 The post-mortem report pointed towards an abraded contusion on the right side of the face of the deceased. It also stated that the cause of death could not be ascertained and for that reason the viscera had been preserved. The Commission then called for the report of the investigation conducted by the CB-CID along with the viscera report. The Superintendent of Police, CB-CID, in his report stated that on completion of investigation and legal formalities in the matter, a charge-sheet had been filed against the accused policemen before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Pilibhit on 20 October 2008. 4.57 The Commission took note of the fact that the police had filed charge-sheets against guilty policemen for offences punishable under crime case No.489/2004 u/s 147/148/149/204/34 IPC and 3 (2) (v) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, which exemplifies that the police on their own have held these men guilty for the death of Dharamwati. The Commission also asked the Government of Uttar Pradesh whether any relief had been granted to the next of kin of the deceased under the provisions of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
