There are two facets of right to equality: Formal equality and substantive equality. Formal equality means that every person, irrespective of attributes must be treated equally and must not be discriminated, while substantive equality is aimed at producing equality of outcomes through different modes of affirmative action. Reasonable accommodation, held, one of the means for achieving substantive equality, pursuant to which disabled persons must be reasonably accommodated based on their individual capacities. Disability as social construct precedes medical condition of individual. Sense of disability introduced because of absence of access to facilities. Para 37
