The Delhi High Court has directed the Union Government and the Delhi
Development Authority (DDA) to frame within three months schemes for
preferential allotment of land at concessional rates to
differently-abled persons in the Capital.
A Division Bench of Justice Darmar Murugesan and Justice V.K. Jain
passed the order on a petition by the All-India Confederation of
Blind.
The petitioner submitted that neither the DDA nor the Central
Government had framed a scheme in accordance with The Persons With
Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights And Full
Participation) Act, 1995 which, among other things, enjoins upon the
governments and the local authorities to frame schemes in favour of
the persons with disabilities for preferential allotment of land at
concessional rates for houses, business, recreation centres, special
schools, research centres and factories.
Allowing the plea, the Bench said: “The respondents are directed to
frame, within three months, appropriate scheme(s) in favour of persons
with disabilities, as defined in Section 2 of The Persons With
Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights And Full
Participation) Act, 1995, for the preferential allotment of land at
concessional rates for setting up of special recreation centres;
establishment of special schools; establishment of research centres;
establishment of factories by entrepreneurs with disabilities.’’
It also directed the DDA to “incorporate a condition in future
allotment of land made to co-operative societies requiring them to
give preference/reservation to the persons with disabilities in the
flats to be constructed by them on the land taken from the DDA.’’
It further directed the DDA “to permit the guardians of persons with
mental disabilities to apply for allotment of flats or shops on behalf
of and in the name of the persons with disabilities.
