Supreme Court of India on Disability

When Nipun Malhotra saw a film trailer turn disability into a punchline, he chose not to look away. His petition travelled to the Supreme Court and led to a first-of-its-kind ruling that now guides how disability is portrayed across Indian cinema.

The Supreme Court's verdict in the Rajeev Kumar Gupta case has been well received by persons with disabilities, who are dubbing the Court's instructions to the government crucial and long overdue.
