The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought response of the AAP government on a PIL challenging its decision to disclose photographs and IQ scores of 59 mentally disabled women lodged in Asha Kiran homes in the city.
A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar also questioned the purpose behind display of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) scores of the women in the advertisement published in the newspapers.
Delhi government additional standing counsel Sanjoy Ghose told the court that purpose behind the advertisement was to reunite the women with their families.
To this the court asked,"How can they (families) identify the women on the basis of IQ scores? We can understand displaying photographs, but why IQ scores?"
