Chandigarh, Jan 5 (NationPress) The Haryana Human Rights Commission has acknowledged the reported inhumane treatment faced by a critically ill individual in a residential complex in Gurugram.

The commission noted that the complainant, who suffers from renal disease and requires dialysis three times a week, has been denied a fundamental amenity, like parking, by the society's management.

Jai Prakash, a resident of GLS Avenue, Sector 92, Gurugram, stated that both of his kidneys are entirely nonfunctional, causing him considerable difficulty in mobility and multiple instances of fainting.

In a complaint submitted to Commission member (judicial) Kuldip Jain, it was highlighted that Jai Prakash lives with his wife, a private school teacher, who is the family's sole breadwinner, and they have two young daughters. Despite this, the society management disregarded his serious health condition and refused him parking access, even though it had been permitted just days prior.

The complainant asserts that parking privileges are selectively granted only to those residents who are either well-acquainted with the staff or provide illegal payments, while he and his family face ongoing mental harassment and discrimination.

Member (judicial) Jain remarked in his order that the details of the complaint reveal, at first glance, that the complainant, who is afflicted with a severe, life-threatening ailment and relies on regular dialysis, has endured mental torment, discrimination, and inhumane treatment from the builder or society personnel.

Despite being fully aware of the complainant's deteriorating health, the willful denial of a basic necessity like parking has inflicted unnecessary physical strain, emotional distress, and humiliation upon him.

Jain further clarified that such behavior constitutes a breach of the right to live with dignity as enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution.

The complaint indicates that the alleged actions not only exhibit a lack of empathy towards the complainant but have also fostered an unsafe, hostile, and degrading living environment for his wife and young daughters. Therefore, the facts presented in the complaint establish a clear prima facie case of human rights violations, necessitating the commission's intervention.

Given the gravity of the situation, the Commission has appointed the Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram as the nodal officer, instructing him to investigate the matter with a senior Gazetted Officer. The Commission has scheduled the next hearing for February 18.
