The hearing on a batch of PILs to enable persons with disabilities gain universal access and equal opportunity for development began Thursday . A day after it pulled up the government for not appointing the Lokpal , the Supreme Court Thursday goaded the Solicitor General to name the Union Minister , who , it said , had been sitting over the files on welfare of the disabled . Even as Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar said the government had taken various steps to help the disabled , a bench led by Chief Justice of India T S Thakur did not stop asking for the name . The concerned minister ' s name is Thaawar Chand Gehlot , said Kumar while the bench asked if the government was working like a panchayat . Gehlot is Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment . Watch What Else Is making NewsIt was an unusual instance when the top court wanted a law officer to spell out the name of a Cabinet Minister . If the court is dissatisfied with implementation of its directives or statute , it seeks names of the officials concerned and summons them . The hearing on a batch of PILs to enable persons with disabilities gain universal access and equal opportunity for development began Thursday with the SG listing out measures taken by this government , including launch of Accessible India Campaign in December 2015 . This campaign seeks to make at least 50 per cent of all government buildings in capitals fully accessible for the disabled by July 2018 . At this , the bench asked why no meeting of the central coordination committee under the disability law has been convened in the last two years of NDA rule . Who is the Union Minister concerned ? the bench asked . Kumar replied that the meeting could not take place since the government has introduced Rights of the Persons with Disabilities Bill in 2014 , but the bench insisted on the minister ' s name . Underlining that the last meeting was convened in 2012 , Kumar said no such meeting was convened even during the previous regime . It is okay but you say this government is different Tell us who is this minister who kept sitting on the files , the bench said . It added Is it government of India or some panchayat ? that the government of India thinks one bill is enough to replace the existing law it is unacceptable that no meeting has taken place in last four years . Kumar accepted that there were lapses and said the next meeting of the central coordination committee will be convened on November 29 . The bench directed chief commissioner of the committee to submit minutes of the meeting on December 14 .
