Adv Sarah Sunny left after registering her protest at shocking absence of SLIs, and rightly so. Fortunately rest of the people also rallied against proceeding today with assurance of next time accessibility. Hopefully WebEx allows 3 screen pinning and automatic transcription of Indian English. English seems to be medium apart from ISL tomorrow. Meeting was being recorded, but no answer on whether it would be shared in public domain.

Sir, Accessibility rights for persons with disabilities is the subject matter of Rajive Raturi Vs. UOI WP (Civil) 243/2005. In a judgement dated November 08, 2024, the Hon'ble Supreme Court entrusted the Department for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) with the responsibility of identifying and clarifying the 'minimum mandatory provisions' under Rule 15 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Rules , 2017 under the RPwD Act. 2. The Hon'ble Court looked into the validity of existing sectoral accessibility standards and guidelines issued in pursuance to Section 40 of RPwD Act, 2016 read with Rule 15 till date. The same was also examined in context to a NALSAR report , based on a study entrusted by the Court, on the steps taken so far by all State and Central Government departments with respect to government buildings, public spaces like airports, railway stations, public transport services, Government websites, etc, across all 21 disabilities , geographies and sectors. 3. The Hon'ble Court concluded that several of the guidelines prescribed under Rule 15 so far, appear to be only advisory in nature . The Court held Rule 15 (1), which incorporates all these guidelines, as ultra vires . 4. The Union Government has now been directed further inter alia to: “76. …delineate mandatory rules, as required by section 40 within a period of three months from the date of this judgment. This exercise may involve segregating the non-negotiable rules from the expansive guidelines already prescribed in Rule 15. The Union Government must conduct this exercise in consultation with all stakeholders, and NALSAR-CDS is directed to be involved in the process. It is clarified that progressive compliance with the standards listed in the existing Rule 15(1) and the progress towards the targets of the Accessibility India Campaign must continue unabated. However, in addition, a baseline of non-negotiable rules must be prescribed in Rule 15. Once these mandatory rules are prescribed, the Union of India, States and Union Territories are directed to ensure that the consequences prescribed in Sections 44, 45, 46 and 89 of the RPwD act, including the holding back of completion certificates and imposition of fines are implemented in cases of non-compliance with Rule 15." 5. It is in this context that a consultation meeting is required to be held urgently. Copies of the Judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme court and that of the report of Centre for Disabilities Studies-NALSAR -“Finding sizes for All” are enclosed. The existing accessibility standards notified by this Department may be seen using the web link: https://depwd.gov.in/acts/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://depwd.gov.in/acts/__;!!Nyu6ZXf5!pBNW5ftbrYXbyoj3Y9KoHeyhcvniQ5Ri8IkGf5NBs8YAviKdjyax5pdbsSaIDHGmCSd1S8YeJIQq_D90M4RvQEc7in_9q8zCWw$>. 6.
