PRAJWALA vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the implementation of Section 43 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, which mandates preferential allotment of land for persons with disabilities. The Court found that many State Governments had not fully implemented this provision, with some admitting to partial implementation. The Court directed that preferential treatment be given to disabled persons in land allotment at concessional rates, leaving the percentage of reservation to the discretion of the State Governments while ensuring that the total percentage of disabled persons is considered. The petition was disposed of with directions for compliance.
