Haryana: Panchkula clears legal guardianship for three persons with disabilities

Panchkula, Oct 29 (UNI) Three applications for legal guardianship of persons with disabilities have been approved by the district-level committee in Panchkula, out of seven cases considered at a meeting chaired by Deputy Commissioner Satpal Sharma on Thursday.
The meeting, held at the Mini Secretariat, reviewed applications submitted under the National Trust Act for issuing legal guardianship certificates. While three cases received approval, the remaining four were not approved at this meeting.
Explaining the purpose of the provision, Sharma said the Local Level Committee had been constituted under the National Trust Act to facilitate the appointment of guardians for persons with intellectual disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities.
A legally appointed guardian can help look after the individual’s welfare and, where required, manage their movable and immovable property, he said.
