Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam has moved the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court order directing that Rs 5 lakh compensation awarded to Delhi University student Akriti Chaudhary be recovered from the salaries of the officers responsible for her NSA detention. The petition is yet to be listed.
The Allahabad High Court directed the State to ensure that persons with disabilities have access to lifts, gyms and other common facilities in residential buildings. The Court said, “It is a fundamental right of a person with disability to have right to accessibility for facilities common in a building.”
