Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud emphasized the importance of making buildings accessible to people with disabilities. During a conference, he pointed out that architectural designs should not just comply with legal norms but should be fundamentally inclusive. This means ensuring that public spaces are intellectually and physically accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. He stressed that accessibility should be considered from the outset of building design to foster an inclusive environment. The Chief Justice also highlighted that improving accessibility would contribute significantly to achieving equality and empowerment for differently-abled individuals.
