What the Court ordered
We are of the opinion that before we take up the prayers sought by the applicants, it would be appropriate to place on record the framework, both international and domestic, dealing with the rights of persons with disabilities, particularly in the context of institutional care, accessibility, and community living.

From the headnote
Issue for Consideration The present case concerns the implementation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 along with the prolonged institutionalisation. The lack of access to education, health, and community life for persons residing in State-run care institution/ homes, must be viewed through the expansive constitutional lens. Whether the institutional structures respect the autonomy, equality, and dignity of persons with disabilities as guaranteed under the Indian Constitution.
