Discussion
In case of violation of their rights, Divyangjan may move an application to the ................. .
Answer: B
The application goes to the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities in the Centre/State.
The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 provides for a Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities at the Centre and a State Commissioner in each state. They can inquire into complaints of deprivation of the rights of persons with disabilities, on their own or on a complaint, and take up the matter with the authorities concerned.
A state commissioner of social welfare and a district social welfare officer are administrative officials, not the grievance authorities under the Act. There is no National Commission for Divyangjan; the disabilities law created commissioners, not a commission.
