JAVED ABIDI vs UOI

The Supreme Court, in a Writ Petition under Article 32, directed the Union of India to implement the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, citing Sections 2(i)(v), 3(2)(I), 9, 13, and 57 of the Act. The Court emphasized the need for the establishment of necessary committees and the appointment of disabled persons as mandated by the Act, holding that failure to do so violates the rights of disabled individuals under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court's ruling mandates immediate action for compliance with the Act's provisions.
