CJI: Inclusion of disabled in med practice key to humane outlook
The Supreme Court of India has urged government bodies to shift their focus from the disabilities of individuals to their abilities. The court emphasized that denying reasonable accommodations to differently-abled individuals constitutes discrimination and violates their fundamental rights. This statement came as the court granted the plea of a medical aspirant denied admission to an MBBS program due to an inaccurate disability assessment.
