HC denies relief to PwD MBBS candidate, says courts can only assess expert disability reports

The Delhi High Court bench recently clarified that courts can interfere with the medical opinion of the Medical Disability Board/Disability Assessment Board only when such reports lack clarity regarding detailed reasons.

“It is apparent that in case there are sufficient reasons contained in the medical opinion of the Medical Disability Board/Disability Assessment Board, the Courts may not interfere. Only when the said Medical Report lacks clarity in terms of detailed reasons, would the Court examine such Medical Reports,” noted the HC bench comprising Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela.
