The Delhi High Court has directed a lawyer, tasked with aiding in a case, to visit the Campus Law Centre at Delhi University and ensure it complies with accessibility standards for people with disabilities. Subsequently, the lawyer is required to submit a thorough report detailing their findings to the court.

Kamal Gupta, acting as an amicus curiae, proposed the idea of visiting the campus to draft a comprehensive affidavit outlining additional requirements that Delhi University should adhere to. This visit would enable a more thorough understanding of the necessary measures to be implemented, ensuring compliance with the court's directives.

The university's counsel affirmed a commitment to provide full cooperation to Gupta in his efforts. According to an affidavit submitted by Delhi University, the university is taking a proactive stance by utilizing its resources and has undertaken the initiative to conduct access audits not only on the Campus Law Centre but also on the Faculty of Law and other structures within the campus.

Previously, Delhi University had indicated that the agency responsible for maintenance had finished repair work in various areas such as toilets, corridors, and open spaces at the Campus Law Centre (CLC). They also mentioned the inclusion of tactile facilities and other necessary accommodations for individuals with disabilities. The university's competent authority had reportedly reviewed and approved these completed modifications to their satisfaction.

Last month, the court extended a final opportunity to Delhi University to submit a comprehensive affidavit detailing the execution of the mandates outlined in the Right of Persons with Disability Act. Additionally, the court instructed the university to file an affidavit demonstrating the incorporation of recommendations provided by the amicus curiae.

The matter would next be heard by the court on February 21.

During the court proceedings, Jayant Singh Raghav, a visually-impaired student at Delhi University, presented a plea addressing the need for providing assistive devices to differently-abled students specifically during examination periods.
