The Delhi High Court (HC) has granted interim relief to a learning-disabled dyslexic student seeking admission to MBBS course, after he was denied a chance to sit for the counselling, allegedly in violation of the Disability Act, 2017. Purang, who is dyslexic, had filled the form under the General category as there was no other category available for him. The cut-off percentile for the General category was 50 and for the PH category, it was 45. The petitioner secured 45.83 percentile and thus was entitled to the same criterion as the PH persons. He, however, could not register himself in the PH category.
