| Sir/Madam, |
| I am directed to say that the matter was considered by the Commission on 01/10/2020 and the Commission has directed as follows.: |
| The Commission received a complaint from one Sageer of an NGO alleging that a single woman Ms. Roshan Jahan in Varanasi is being harassed and physically assaulted by the persons of her neighbourhood by branding her a witch. A prayer has been made for intervention of the Commission in the matter. Vide proceedings dated 28.02.2018 the Commission after consideration of materials placed on record directed the Chief Secretary, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh to pay Rs. 50,000/- to the complainant and send the compliance report of payment of the same along with proof of payment. However, the requisite compliance report regarding payment of 50,000/- has not been received. Vide proceedings dated 17.09.2018 and 29.03.2019 the Commission issued reminders to the Chief Secretary, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh to send the compliance report of payment of the same along with proof of payment. In response, the Commission received a letter dated 06.02.2020 and 05.03.2020 from Dy.
