It was intimated that for the welfare of persons with Autism, Cerebral Plasy, Mental retardation and multiple disabilities, the Parliament has passed the National Trust Act, 1999 ( NO. 44 of 1999). The Act provides , Intel- alia for Constitution of Local Level Committees and Appointment of guardian by the Local Level Committee in respct of persons suffering from the above sai disabilities. It was clarified therin that since the Guardianship Certificate issued unde the National Trust Act is based on the authoritiy of Law passed by the parliament , the same need to be accepted for the purpose of grant of family pension in respect of persons suffering from the disabilites as incorporated in the Act.
It was however intimated by the National Trust for the welfare of persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental retardation and Multiple Disablities, New Delhi, that certain Ministries/ Departments have not been accepting the Legal Guardianship Certificate issued by the Local Level Committee of the District constitued under the proivisions of the National Trust Act, 1999. It need to be emphasized here that such action on the part of Ministries/Departments not only results in inconvenience and harassment to the persons with disabilies but also leads to delay in the family pension sanction process. Besides it has to be appreciated by ne and all that persons with disabilites deserve special attention, support, protection and care of all concerned in order to enable them lead a dignified life in the society.
Therefore all the departments are again requested to ensure that Guardianship Certifiate issued by the Local Level Committee constitued under the provisions of the National Trust Act, 1999, for the purpose of grant of family pension in respect of persons suffering from the said disabilities are invariably honoured/accpted. The certificate issued by the Local Level Committee, has the same sanctity and force as the one issued by a court of law and cannot be summarily dismissed and ignored.
