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.
