THE Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Centre on a petition seeking the constitution of a national expert committee to formulate comprehensive guidelines for the care, rehabilitation, and protection of persons with autism and other intellectual disabilities.
The two-judge bench of the apex court, comprising Justices B V Nagarathna and R Mahadevan, issued notices to the Union of India, the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities and others, and sought their responses after hearing a plea filed by the NGO, Hrdya Saras Foundation, and others.
The petition has also sought appropriate directions to the Centre and others to establish population-based residential facilities for persons with autism and other intellectual disabilities in every district.
