SC on MBBS students: The Supreme Court today gave an important decision saying that a person cannot be prevented from studying medicine just for 40 percent disability. Unless an expert report declares that person incapable of studying MBBS. The court has also issued instructions to the disability board.
According to the Supreme Court, just 40% of disability can not prevent a person from studying medicine. Until a report from an expert says that person is not capable of studying MBBS.
In its September 18 order, the division bench of Justices BR Gavai, Arvind Kumar, and KV Vishwanathan provided thorough justifications for allowing a candidate to pursue MBBS on Tuesday. Because the medical board believed that he could continue his medical study without any obstacles.
The division bench said that it is necessary to take the opinion of the Disability Assessment Board to assess the ability of a disabled candidate to pursue MBBS education. He said that a candidate cannot be disqualified for MBBS studies just because of his disability.
