Make all prisons disabled-friendly, SC directs states
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|December 07, 2025
The Supreme Court has passed sweeping directions to all states and union territories to make prisons disabled-friendly and sought a compliance report within four months.
The order, passed early this week, sought details of various aspects related to audit of prison infrastructure for disabled prisoners, their educational and health requirements and effective grievance redressal mechanism.
A bench of justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta passed the order in a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by activist Satyan Naravoor who cited the instances of wheelchair-bound former Delhi University professor GN Saibaba and Parkinson-affected Stan Swamy. While Swamy died in incarceration in the Bhima Koregaon violence case, Saibaba passed away a few months after his acquittal in a case where he was alleged to have links with banned Maoists.
