Reportedly a girl students with learning disability fies a petition against indian institute of technolog, Bombay in Bombay high court. The petition says that the IIT was violating her rights but not considering her case for admission to Masters in Design on “incorrect” grounds that LD does not fall under “person with disability” category for which there are concessions.
On monday high court announced final decision in favour of girl that offered some relef to student. High court ordered IIT Bombay to allow her to attend classes immediately from Tuesday as they had already begun on July 18.
The IIT did not even appear for a hearing in Delhi held in June by the ministry of social justice, which she had approached earlier, he said. The girl had been pursuing IIT since March for admission. The HC took this into consideration while directing her to deposit semester fees and attend classes.
The IIT said she has learning disability of “dyscalculia” only and it “cannot be considered a disability” that would fall within the HRD ministry “guidelines for reservation for persons with physical disability”.
