NEW DELHI, Feb. 11, 2023 (TBINN)
Who knows, some day she may become an excellent doctor, Supreme Court has said as it came to the rescue of a girl, who was denied admission in M.B.B.S. Course due to her language and speech impairment, and directed a medical board of PGIMER Chandigarh to examine her.
A bench of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and justices P.S. Narasimha and J.B. Pardiwala directed that the medical board be constituted by the Director of PGIMER Chandigarh, including a specialist on Language and Speech Impairment to examine the girl, who is from Haryana.
The bench also directed that a report be filed by medical board in the court after examining her in a month. Advocate Gaurav Sharma, appearing for the National Medical Commission, suggested that it is not coming in the way of girl’s education in M.B.B.S. Course, but it would be appropriate if she is examined by a medical board to ascertain, whether she will be able to cope up with the course.
