SC directs Registry to appoint sign-language interpreter for hearing-impaired lawyer
“There is a request for appointment of a sign-language interpreter. The Registry will take steps for appointing an interpreter as requested by the learned counsel for the appellants, ordered Registrar Vivek Saxena.Advocate-on-Record Sanchita Ain moved an application before the top court seeking a sign-language interpreter for her hearing-impaired colleague who will be joining the proceedings virtually from Bengaluru.Consequently, she requested that the sign-language interpreter may also join the proceedings virtually whenever the matter is taken up for hearing.“Registry will take action and it will be listed on October 6 before the Hon’ble Court, said the Registrar of the Supreme Court.Earlier in September, CJI D.Y. Chandrachud had permitted the same specially-abled lawyer to attend the court proceedings in Chief Justice's court with the assistance of her own sign-language interpreter.CJI Chandrachud had later said that such accessibility should have happened long back and it was a sobering experience for him when a lawyer with a hearing impairment attended proceedings with the assistance of a sign-language interpreter.--IANSpds/dpb
