The Delhi High Court today asked the AAP Government not to purchase standard floor buses for the national capital. The court said, it would not allow the procurement as it would lead to the violation of the fundamental rights of disabled persons who would find it difficult to access such vehicles. The court made it clear it is not going to permit tender for standard floor buses to go through and asked the Delhi Government to stay its hands. The petitioner, who suffers from a locomotor disability, has challenged the Delhi Government's move to procure 2,000 standard-floor buses at a cost of 300 crore rupees.
