The Daily Guardian|November 02, 2024
The Delhi High Court has sought the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) official response to a petition urging the inclusion of accessibility features in films to aid individuals with hearing and visual disabilities.

This move comes after the petitioner, Suman Bhokray, a visually disabled individual, raised concerns regarding the lack of compliance by recent films with accessibility guidelines issued by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Justice Sanjeev Narula issued a notice to the CBFC and has directed the board to file its response within four weeks, with the next hearing scheduled for January 21.
