I'm also keen to know the more details. It seems that the case was only reported by the India Today. And the reporter's E-mail address is given in the report. One could seek more details from Sneha. This case was probably disposed off in one of the district courts in Delhi. Moreover, I'm mulling to write an Op-Ed for an mainstream Indian Daily over this issue. And the list could help me in collating similar cases where jurors narrow outlook accentuated the entrenched farce perception against the persons with disabilities. Such observation by the judge if not rebuffed or condemned, has a propensity to crystalise the notion that the blindness and divinity go together. And any 'aberration' if alleged and reported should be booed away as false 'accusation'.We shouldn't let these judges spread unfounded lies about our lives. At times, one is provoked to pose bluntly: 'who will judge the judges'?
