The boy needed the certificate for the J&K Board of School Education (JKBOSE) to allow him to have a scribe to write his class 10 examination, the J&K government spokesperson said, adding the JKBOSE had denied him the permission to have the scribe earlier.
As he reached the medical board, his mother and sister went inside the board's office, leaving him inside the vehicle, to request the board members to examine him in the vehicle itself outside their office due to the severe disability of the boy and lack of the requisite facilities inside the office, the official said.
