NEET-UG 2022: Delhi High Court Issues Notice On Plea By Candidate With Locomotor Disability For Seat Allocation Under PwD Category

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday issued notice on the plea of a NEET-UG 2022 candidate with 50% locomotor disability, who was declared ineligible for admission due to disability certificate issued by Government Medical College and Hospital in Chandigarh. A division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad sought response of Union of India through Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, National Medical Commission, National Testing Agency and All India Institute of Medical Sciences within three weeks. She has submitted that despite getting 42nd rank under the Unreserved- Persons with Disabilities category in the examination, she was found ineligible for admission after a Chandigarh-based medical hospital found her disability to be 30% in contrast to the 50% as had been recorded earlier by a medical officer in Punjab. In the plea filed through Advocate Rahul Bajaj, the constitutional validity of section 32 of RPW Act read with note 3 of the 2019 Amendment has been challenged as being violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India as the provisions restrict benefit of reservation in higher education institutions for persons with benchmark disabilities alone.
