Order:

  1. Heard the parties.

  2. In the instant writ petition the petitioner has prayed for quashing of the order dated 21-6-2002, contained in Annexure-3 to the writ petition, wherein the National Human Rights Commission through its Joint Registrar (Law) requested the Director General of Police, Jharkhand, Ranchi by his letter dated 12-7-2002 to institute an F.I.R. against the petitioner in view of the resolution taken by the National Human Rights Commission on 21-6-2002. The following resolutions were taken by the National Human Rights Commission:-

    It is indeed painful to see that the then SHO, Sukhdev Nagar Shri Shivchandra Prasad Singh had perpetrated inhuman treatment and torture to the complainant with the sole aim of extortion.

DGP, Jharkhand is directed to register a case under the appropriate section of IPC against Shri Shivchandra Prasad Singh and get the same investigated by an officer not below the rank of DSP, CBCID.

Thereafter, he abused and man-handled the complainant and one other Director of the factory and he warned and threatened the complainant that if he wants to run the factory then he has to pay Rs. 25,000/- per month to him and he has also to give him a new Maruti Car otherwise he would not allow him to run the factory. When the complainant expressed his inability to meet the demand, he was badly assaulted by the Officer-in-Charge and, thereafter, Rs. 26,000/- was also snatched away from his pocket.
