The court denounced the use of derogatory terms such as 'cripple' and 'spastic' and laid down new guidelines to prevent the denigration of persons with disabilities. The judgment, delivered on July 8, emphasized the harmful impact of stereotypes on the fundamental rights and dignity of disabled individuals. Petitioner Nipun Malhotra hailed the decision as a 'game changer' for the disabled community.
