After paving the way for the colour blind to pursue medical studies, the Supreme Court on Friday decided to examine whether a student suffering from low vision could be allowed to get admission in a medical college.
Agreeing to hear the plea of an Ahmedabad-based student who appeared in NEET 2018 and got a rank of 419 in the physically handicapped category, a vacation bench of Justices U U Lalit and Deepak Gupta issued notice to the Centre and Medical Council of India. The petitioner Purswani Ashutosh moved the court after a government hospital refused to issue disability certificate to him which is needed for counselling for admission in a medical college.
The court, however, raised a question whether it was feasible to admit a student with low eyesight which is not curable. “As far as MBBS is concerned, we have to see, how much it is feasible and possible,” it said.
