There is no illegality on the part of commission to direct the head of the department not to harass the petitioner. Law of land does not allow harassment in any way to any body either petitioner,accused or wittness.

You can give a complaint to your superiors and the WBVC regarding the harrasments along with strong proofs, they will initiate action on the concerned person.
