RPwD Act & Nativity Certificate | Birthplace Suffices for Domicile Despite Temporary Absence; Reasonable Accommodation Mandatory for PwD Employment : Madras HC
Madras HC ruled that birth in Puducherry qualifies an individual for a nativity certificate even after temporary relocation for caregiving, reinforcing domicile rights. The court also held that denying employment to a person with disability (PwD) based on a non-functional medical assessment violates the statutory duty of reasonable accommodation under the RPwD Act, 2016, impacting PwD employment rights and state domicile policies.
