Reply to plea seeking compliance with recommendations of disability commissions: Supreme Court notice to Centre

The Supreme Court has asked the Centre for its response on a plea seeking guidelines for timely compliance with recommendations from disability commissions. The petition highlights implementation gaps in grievance redressal for persons with disabilities. It points out that authorities often fail to comply or provide reasons. It has also sought directions to conduct an independent audit of the offices of the chief commissioner as well as the state commissioners for persons with disabilities.
