💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has ordered the allocation of a seat to a candidate with disability, Kabir Paharia, who cleared the MBBS entrance exam in 2024, after the Delhi High Court rejected his plea. Paharia, who has a locomotor disability, scored high in NEET and demonstrated functional adaptation using his existing fingers during tasks. The court emphasized that reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities is a fundamental right and not a matter of charity.
