#Medical Certification

Chhattisgarh High Court reinforces that under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, only designated Medical Boards-not revenue officers-have the authority to assess or invalidate disability certificates.

Uttarakhand High Court clarifies that vague medical certificates insufficient to invoke 'serious patient' status under Transfer Act; mandates precise certification aligned with statutory list.
