Bench says NGO has raised significant issue in plea
The Supreme Court on Monday asked the government to explain steps taken by it to facilitate persons with disabilities to gain easy access to COVID-19 vaccines in order to equally protect them against the virus.
A Bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and B.V. Nagarathna issued notice on a petition filed by NGO Evara Foundation, represented by advocate Pankaj Sinha, saying it had raised a “significant issue”. The court directed the government to respond in two weeks.
The petition has sought adequate provisions to be made by the government to vaccinate persons with disabilities at home.
