Live Law  

After having summoned the Director General of Health Services's presence after the Respondents failed to appear in a case relating to the admission of an OBC student with a benchmark disability in medical college, the Supreme Court today allowed the petitioner to be admitted to Government Medical College, Sirohi, Rajasthan. The Court issued notice on November 25 and directed AIIMS Delhi to constitute an expert committee to assess whether the petitioner's disability would come in the way of his pursuing medical studies. As per iprobono, while the AIIMS committee's report found the petitioner ineligible under the National Medical Commission guidelines—which mandate intact and functional hands for medical studies—they also stated that the current guidelines need revision. Relying on Dr. Singh's report, the Supreme Court directed the Medical Counselling Committee to consider the petitioner's admission under the OBC/PWD category based on merit.
