Oxygen concentrators black marketing case: Supreme Court issues notice on plea seeking release of seized material<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cDenial of reasonable accommodation constitutes discrimination under Section 2(h) of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (hereinafter, \u201cRPWD C Act\u201d) and is thus a violation of persons with disabilities under Article 14 of the Constitution,\u201d the plea said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plea also submitted, \u201cStudents with disabilities have suffered the most among all the students in the wake of COVID-19 crisis. The online system of education is set on standards that make it out of reach of students with disabilities, leading to their exclusion in the field of education. This further denies students with disabilities to have equal opportunities in future and to live a life of purpose and human dignity. Therefore, unless positive measures are taken by the government to ensure that in reality students with disabilities are enabled to exercise and enjoy their rights equally with others, the current system of education is discriminative against students with disabilities as well as violates their right to live with dignity and enjoy life at par with others.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
