As the boy’s mother, who is deaf and mute earns irregular wages and cares for her daughter and aged mother-in-law, the commission recommended the Chief Secretary to provide a regular job in the last grade category by relaxing necessary rules.

Describing it as a just and humane measure to uphold dignity and basic human rights, the commission stated that the recommendations should be complied with within six months. A compliance report must be submitted to the commission.
