INQUIRY REPORT

(25th July, 2022)

The complaint dated 03/01/2022, was received by e-mail from the Complainant, complaining of issue to him of a faulty Disability Certificate and using barred expressions for addressing the persons with disabilities.

2. On perusing the complaint, the Commission by Order dated 01/02/2022, issued notices to the five Respondents, calling for their replies.

3. The Respondents No. 1 and 2 filed their reply dated 09/03/2022. The Respondent No. 3 filed their reply dated 07/03/2022 and the Respondent No. 4 filed their dated 01/03/2022. Thereafter, the Complainant filed his Rejoinder on 13/04/2022.

4. At the stage of hearing on 27/06/2022, the Commission heard Shri Ashwin Naik, Member of the Legal Aid Cell of V.M. Salgaonkar College of Law, on behalf of the Complainant. So also, Dr. Mahesh Kambli was heard on behalf of the Respondents No. 1 and 2. Shri B.M. Tari, U.D.C. was heard on behalf of the Respondent No. 4 and Smt. Pradnya Desai, Assistant Director of the Respondent No. 5 was heard. After the date of hearing, the Respondent No. 3 filed their further reply on 28/06/2022, in respect of putting up the Disability Boards at the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour.

5. The Commission has gone through the complaint, replies of the Respondents, Rejoinder of the Complainant, Medical Certificate issued to the Complainant and the provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.

6. Shri Ashwin Naik on behalf of the Complainant had contended that despite the provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and the Circular of the Directorate of Social Welfare, Government of Goa, the Respondents No. 1 and 2 are still using the old formats containing the barred expressions while issuing the Disability Certificates. However, on behalf of Respondents No. 1 and 2, Dr. Mahesh Kambli submitted that they have already issued new formats, omitting the barred expressions.

7. The Commission finds that the Directorate of Social Welfare issued a Circular dated 06/04/2020, banning the use of the expression "handicapped", as the use of the said expression violates and undermines the dignity of the persons with disabilities which is so manifestly against the spirit of the Constitution of India.

8. As per the reply of the Respondents No. 1 and 2, they had issued a Circular dated 01/01/2019, for assessment and Certificate of Specified Disabilities and the same was circulated to all Heads of Departments of the Goa Medical College and for implementation by the Institution. The Respondent No. 1 had also sent a reminder dated 28/01/2021, to all the Heads of Departments, enclosing the Disability Certificates for necessary action.

9. The Complainant had stated that he had been issued a Disability Certificate dated 19/02/2021, containing the barred expressions.

10. On going through the said Disability Certificate dated 19/02/2021, it is seen that it contains the barred expression, "handicapped" at three places. This certificate was issued overlooking the Circular dated 06/04/2020 of the Directorate of Social Welfare and despite the Circular dated 01/01/2019 and 28/01/2021 of the Respondents No. 1 and 2.

11. The Commission finds that by not following the provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and the Circular of the Directorate of Social Welfare dated 06/04/2020, the human rights of the Complainant have been violated. It appears that the old printed forms are still in use containing the barred expression.

12. Section 18(a) of The Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 reads as under:-

The Commission may take any of the following steps during or upon the completion of an inquiry held under this Act, namely:-

"(a) where the inquiry discloses the commission of violation of human rights or negligence in the prevention of violation of human rights or abetment thereof by a public servant, it may recommend to the concerned Government or authority—

(i) to make payment of compensation or damages to the complainant or to the victim or the members of his family as the Commission may consider necessary;

(ii) to initiate proceedings for prosecution or such other suitable action as the Commission may deem fit against the concerned person or persons;

(iii) to take such further action as it may think fit".

13. In the fact of the present case, the Commission accordingly, recommends as under:-

(i) The Respondents No. 1 and 2 to ensure that the old forms are withdrawn forthwith and the

Disability Certificates be issued without the barred expression.

(ii) It is also recommended that the Disability Certificate dated 19/02/2021 be re-issued to the

Complainant without the barred expression, within 30 days from today.

14. Under Section 18(e) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, the Commission shall send a copy of the Inquiry Report together with its recommendations to the concerned Government or authority and they shall, within a period of one month or such further time as the Commission may allow, forward its comments on the report, including the action taken or proposed to be taken, to the Commission.

15. Copy of the Inquiry Report be sent to the Respondents No. 1 and 2, calling for their comments, including the action taken or proposed to be taken within a period of 30 days or on or before 25/08/2022, in terms of Section 18(e) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.
