Allahabad HC Orders Inclusive Accessibility in Residential Complexes for Persons with Disabilities

The Allahabad High Court has directed Uttar Pradesh authorities to ensure accessible parking and common facilities such as lifts, pavements, playgrounds, community centres, and gyms for persons with disabilities in residential complexes. The court emphasized accessibility as a fundamental right and mandated compliance with Accessibility Rules during building approvals and completion certification. This ruling followed a petition concerning a disabled allottee whose parking space was altered, affecting her access to facilities, highlighting the need for inclusive infrastructure in housing projects.
