The Delhi High Court has refused to interfere with the Indian Railway’s decision to issue separate ID cards to disabled persons for availing concession instead of using the government-issued Unique Disability Identity (UDID) Card.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, while closing the proceedings on a PIL on the issue, noted that a policy decision was taken by Railways to issue a “Photo Identity Card” for disabled persons on the basis of disability certificates for purchase of concessional tickets and to ensure that they are not required to submit disability certificates whenever they buy a ticket.
