and asked the Delhi government to &#8220;stay its hands&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The bench was hearing a PIL by Nipun Malhotra, who suffers from a locomotor disability and has challenged the Delhi government&#8217;s move to procure 2,000 standard-floor buses at a cost of Rs 300 crore.<\/p>\n<p>Advocate Jai Dehadrai, appearing for the petitioner, urged the bench to stay the tender floated for procurement of the standard floor buses.<\/p>\n<p>The court, however, did not give a direction to this effect, as additional standing counsel Sanjoy Ghosh, representing the Delhi government in the matter, was not available today owing to a medical emergency in his family.<\/p>\n<p>The court, meanwhile, directed the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) to design a module for training and sensitising its staff, especially drivers, towards the needs of persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>It issued the direction after noting that DTC drivers often stop or park the buses in the middle of the road, preventing disabled persons from accessing the vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>With this direction, the court listed the matter for further hearing on March 19.<\/p>\n<p>The court also gave the Delhi government time to file the minutes of the meetings held by the Chief Secretary with other high-level officials on formulating an action plan on the nature of parking spaces, their design and the time line within which the construction would be completed and their location.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer who was appearing for Delhi government told the bench that the Chief Secretary was unable to finalise the minutes of meeting due to some &#8220;ongoing issues&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The bench also allowed an orthopaedic surgeon to intervene in the matter to assist the court on the difficulties faced by differently-abled persons with regard to mobility and travelling.<\/p>\n<p>The court had on February 7 threatened to stay the Delhi government&#8217;s move to procure 1,000 low-floor electric buses instead of standard-floor CNG buses, if it did not have an action plan to provide parking space for the vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Will these 1,000 buses fly in air,&#8221; the bench had asked the Delhi government and the Delhi Transport Corporation, after noting that purchase orders were issued without finalising a plan for parking space.<\/p>\n<p>The court had said it wanted the action plan by today (February 28) and failure to do so would result in a stay on the tender as well as the initiation of contempt action against the officials concerned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0The Delhi High Court today asked the AAP government not to go ahead with its tender to purchase standard floor buses for the national capital, saying it would not allow the procurement as it would lead to violation of the fundamental rights of disabled persons who would find it difficult to access such vehicles.
