Notable Excerpts of Supreme court on differently abled person

 We would like to conclude this judgment by observing that to
most disabled persons, the society they live in is a closed door
which has been locked and the key to which has been thrown
away by the others. Helen Keller has described this phenomena
in the following words:
“Some people see a closed door and turn away.
Others see a closed door, try the knob and if it
doesn't open, they turn away. Still others see a
closed door, try the knob and if it doesn't work, they
find a key and if the key doesn't fit, they turn way.
A rare few see a closed door, try the knob, if it
doesn't open and they find a key and if it doesn't fit,
they make one!”
These rare persons we have to find out.
