The Supreme Court of India is the country’s apex court and the final place for an appeal. Its judgments are binding on all other courts, and it serves as the final interpreter of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court came into existence on 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme court was Justice H.J. Kania. Consisting of the Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges, it has extensive powers in the form of original, appellate and advisory jurisdictions. As the final court of appeal, the Supreme Court takes up appeals primarily against verdicts of the high courts of various states of the Union and other courts and tribunals. It safeguards fundamental rights of citizens and settles disputes between various governments in the country.
I have seen how in a lot of countries there are people who do sign language translations when someone of a status of a CM or PM in those countries address the nation or journalists. I don’t see that in our country where we definitely have a lot of deaf people just because of our population size. I mean only in 2020 we recognized the Indian sign language (the so called “progressive left – Congress didn’t care about it huh ?)
I have never seen that in our country. Most of our footpaths (the ones which are not encroached or in bad conditions) are very unfriendly towards people using wheelchairs.
Our country is very unfriendly towards physically abled people. Now I have seen NGOs and some initiatives from the government but clearly we are very behind because we have still not made the basics accessible to such groups. NGOs can help but can’t build the infrastructure. That’s the job of the government.
