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.
