A citizen with permanent and permanent mobility disability recognized by court order

The Supreme Court annulled an administrative decision rejecting the request of a citizen with a disability, and ruled that the Public Authority for Persons with Disabilities must recognize him as having severe and permanent motor disabilities. The judgment came after a lawsuit filed by lawyer Fatima Safar challenging the administrative authority’s decision, seeking recognition of her client’s right to be classified in the category of persons with severe and permanent motor disabilities, based on the findings of the submitted documents and reports, and the resulting legal rights and designated services for this category.

Safar stated that this ruling “was not a pursuit of privileges, but rather an affirmation of a legal entitlement due to her client, enabling him to access the services and support guaranteed by law to persons with disabilities, after he had been deprived of them as a result of the challenged decision.” She added that the judiciary had done justice to her client by affirming his legal status in accordance with his health condition, noting that recognizing a disability under the correct classification does not constitute an exceptional privilege, but rather a right that entitles the beneficiary to receive the care and services established by the legislator, thereby ensuring justice and preserving human dignity.
