The chief minister, who received the interim report from Justice (Retd) Mehtab Singh Gill here today, directed the Commission to monitor the implementation of the report, with the help of Secretary Home and Director Prosecution.
The Mehtab Singh Gill Commission of Inquiry, constituted by the chief minister on April 5, has so far examined 172 of the over 4200 cases/complaints received by it.
"In another 19 cases, the Commission has recommended cancellation of FIR/withdrawal of case against the accused, and has recommended that the Home and Judicial Department should make a request to courts concerned, in a legal and proper manner, to cancel FIRs," he said.
In the remaining cases, the Commission has recommended prosecution of the complainant while suggesting that adequate compensation be recovered from the Investigating Officer.
In some cases, Gill has also recommended action against police officers responsible for instigating the false case, calling for dismissal of the officers, including at the DSP level.
