Also, we would be glad and appreciate, if anybody else could prevail
upon the railway ministry to accept the validity of the UDID, by
whatever means at their command

Ministers come and go. Thats what Railways officers tell us. Since
the 1995 Act I had petitioned and met several Railway Ministers on
matters related to PwD. The papers were sent to officers of Rail
Bhavan for action. Nothing happened just a one liner reply and
case closed. These same officer only understood Court language.
You are on the right track Murali ji.

So what's stopping you from starting negotiations with the
Railways, Kanchan? The same Railways which call themselves
"Lifeline of Nation" but care a damn for divyangs? Steep
ramps, non workings wheel chairs @ railway stations, every
Railways staff park their vehicles on space reserved for PwD,
locked PwD toilets etc.
We will all join you when you start negotiating.

I have been reading everyones comments about their
disappointment etc. I echo the same. However this was not
a matter to be taken to court. You have to be
prudent-something gets sorted by negotiations, discussions
and requests while other issues need to be addressed by
the Courts. The Court should be the last resort and not
the first. I am sure this will get resolved and it must. I
have great respect for everyone who tries to resolve an
issue whichever way they know best.
Lets keep going-Advocacy needs everyone.

Deeply pained to hear. With full respect to the Hon Court,
this sounds like asking someone to reinvent the wheel when
you have one.
This apart, I am sure the Hon Supreme Court will undo the
damages.

Dear Murali,
This certainly needs to be challenged. I had
discussed the matter
with Shree Rajesh Aggarwal, our department
secretary and he had also
concurred. The problem here is the judges are not
exposed to
hardships of the disabled and in many cases, they
go by their common
understanding.
Sad indeed!
