A Division Bench of the AHRC comprising its chairperson Justice Aftab H Saikia and member Tarun Phookan by its order yesterday passed on case No.238/24/11-12 recommended that the compensation be paid within three months to the next of kin of Das, the then Superintendent of Kamrup Treasury.
Das had died after falling into the drain flowing beside the R G B Zoo Road on October 21 while reportedly waiting for a city bus enroute to his house after office hours.
After considering the reports the Division Bench passed the order of the recommendation. The State Government was given the liberty to realise the compensatory amount in equal proportion from those two departments fixing responsibilities in that regard upon their respective officials/staff concerned.
