Indian Courts Fail Ensure Sign-Language Access

Advocate-on-Record Sanchita Ain and advocate Sarah Sunny say Indian courtrooms remain inconsistently accessible to deaf lawyers, speaking at The Hindu's Justice Unplugged in New Delhi on February 28, 2026. They recalled a September 2023 Supreme Court hearing where Ain arranged and funded an Indian Sign Language interpreter so Sunny could follow proceedings, and warned that arranging interpreters remains tedious. Ain is developing a legal sign-language thesaurus to bridge terminology gaps.
