The Supreme Court called rehabilitation of homeless persons with psychosocial disabilities a “sensitive issue” and told the Centre to act urgently. It questioned the poor execution of existing mental health laws.
The Supreme Court on Monday (Dec 9) questioned the Central government for its failure to comply with a direction to issue appointment orders to a visually impaired person and other candidates with disability, who had cleared the Civil Services Examination in 2008. It also issued a contempt of court notice to the Secretary of Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
