Triveni Devi Chauhan of Kabarai village in Mahoba district, UP was struggling to get compensation since 2006 for her four bighas of land used by the PWD to construct a road, but was not heard by the concerned authorities, an NHRC statement said.
Police too allegedly did not register her complaint against the PWD. However, a complaint on her behalf was lodged with the NHRC on June 26, 2011 seeking justice for the victim of PWD and police apathy.
Accordingly, the Chief Secretary, UP was directed to submit a report in the matter.
However, it was not before three reminders were sent to the Chief Secretary that the Special Secretary, PWD, UP Government, Lucknow, sent a report that after receiving a cheque for Rs 9,10,000 as sale consideration, Triveni Devi executed sale deed of the land in favour of the government of UP through Executive Engineer, Mahoba.
