National human rights’ body leaves matter open
Chandgarh, March 3
In a case where a person was wrongfully kept in jail for two months owing to a mistake by the court staff, the NHRC has left the matter open and said that the complainant can approach the court of law for relief.
Pankaj Chandgothia, Advocate and national convener of NGO, Harmonious Omni-Directional Public Endeavour (HOPE), had filed a complaint with the NHRC on June 18, asking for compensation and corrective measures in case of a person who was put in jail for over two months desspite being acquitted by the court.
The NHRC has left the matter open and said that "the victim may seek redressal of his grievance from the court of law”.
Ironically, in the judgement he was acquitted but due to inadvertence or clerical mistake, his conviction warrant was prepared by the reader of the court and got signed by the AD and SJ in a routine way. Later, the mistake was detected and release order was sent on June 17 for victim Ravi Kumar.
