On Tuesday, the High Court of Delhi asked the Centre to take a policy decision on a representation to fill up the vacant seats reserved in medical colleges for those suffering from “benchmark disability” by taking in candidates who fall short of the threshold but are persons with disabilities (PWD).
A bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma also asked the Centre to respond to a petition filed by an MBBS aspirant having less than benchmark disability who sought admission in a medical college against one of the unfilled seats reserved for PWD.
The petitioner, who has a permanent locomotor disability, scored 96.06 percentile in NEET-UG 2022 and was found to be short of the 40 per cent threshold prescribed for a benchmark disability – a precondition for claiming reservation in education.
