The Bombay High Court has ordered the Maharashtra government to make the state advisory board for disabled people operational within one month. The court's directive came at a hearing on Thursday, with the bench underlining the urgency of the situation. "For God's sake, do it by then," said a division bench that included Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar. The court expressed worry that the government required court orders to carry out its statutory tasks, particularly those targeted at change, reported PTI. 

According to the report, the state advisory board was established in 2018 under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act but has been inactive since 2020 due to unfilled positions for non-official members.
