The Supreme Court has issued a notice in 𝘚𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘺𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘷. 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢 (𝘞.𝘗.(𝘊) 𝘕𝘰. 182/2025), highlighting the dire conditions of persons with disabilities (PwD) in Indian prisons and calling for the strict implementation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. The petition underscores the systemic neglect of PwD inmates, who are denied basic accommodations such as wheelchair-friendly spaces, accessible toilets, and necessary medical care.
The court acknowledged that the lack of disability-friendly infrastructure in prisons not only violates the RPwD Act but also infringes upon fundamental rights, particularly for undertrial prisoners. "Prisons should not become punishment beyond the sentence," the plea argues, emphasizing that PwD inmates face disproportionate hardships.
With the next hearing scheduled for April 8, this case raises a crucial question: Should incarceration strip individuals of their dignity and basic rights, or should it reflect a justice system that upholds humane treatment for all?
