Advertisement
While considering an MBBS aspirant's plea challenging the decision to deny him reservation under quota for Persons With Disabilities (PwD) on account of a mental health condition, the Supreme Court recently directed the National Medical Commission's Expert Committee to review its recommendations after taking into consideration the notification by the Central Government issued in March 2024 prescribing certain guidelines for assessment of specified disabilities.
The Apex Court bench comprising Justices PS Narasimha and Pankaj Mithal has asked the NMC to file an affidavit in this regard within 8 weeks. "...we are of the opinion that it is necessary for the Expert Committee to review their opinion on the basis of the notification dated 12.03.2024. An affidavit to this effect shall be filed by the National Medical Commission within a period of eight weeks." it ordered.
