Delhi: Four sign language interpreters to aid lawyers, litigants

The Delhi High Court has decided to engage four sign language interpreters to assist lawyers and litigants who may require their services in court. The court will utilize their services on a provisional basis until a panel of interpreters is finalized. This move aims to enhance access to justice for the hearing-impaired. The Supreme Court has also appointed a sign language interpreter for the first time to ensure inclusivity and accessibility in the judicial system. These steps highlight efforts to make the legal process more accommodating for individuals with disabilities.
