Case Summary: Justice Sunanda Bhandare Foundation v. Union of India (2026 INSC 441) Note: The document provided does not match the case details requested (C.A. No. 006442/1998, State of Maharashtra v. Reema S. Chatterjee). The judgment is actually WPC 116/1998 with related Civil Appeal 11938/2016. Court Decision Summary: The Supreme Court addressed implementation of disability rights protections under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. The Court found widespread non-compliance by States and Union Territories in appointing Nodal Officers despite previous orders, expressing "serious displeasure" at the delay. It endorsed the Union's clarification permitting meritorious disabled candidates to compete for unreserved positions on their own merit while preserving reservation benefits. Notably, the Court delegated substantive monitoring of statutory compliance to National Law Universities under "Project Ability Empowerment," recognizing that nearly eight years post-enactment, full implementation remains elusive, while tasking these institutions with detailed assessments across all jurisdictions to ensure effective realization of disability rights mandates.
