The Bombay High Court has allowed Elgar Parishad accused Gautam Navlakha to shift from Mumbai to his Delhi residence while making it clear that he must attend trial proceedings whenever required.
The Court imposed strict conditions, including weekly police reporting, surrender of passport, and prior permission to leave Delhi.
Today, On 7th March, The Supreme Court issued a notice on a petition seeking proper accommodations for persons with disabilities (PwDs) in prisons. The plea highlights the lack of specialized facilities, forcing PwDs to stay in the same conditions as non-disabled inmates without necessary support. It cites the cases of G.N. Saibaba and Stan Swamy, raising concerns over the treatment of disabled prisoners. The petition calls for reforms to ensure humane and accessible conditions for PwDs in custody.
