Both hands intact' rule for MBBS admissions ableist: SC
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|February 22, 2025
The Supreme Court on Friday strongly criticised the National Medical Commission's (NMC) regulations requiring candidates to have "both hands intact" to qualify for medical education, calling it a glorification of "ableism" that contradicts the principles of reasonable accommodation and inclusivity enshrined in the law.
NEW DELHI:
"It indicates a classification which is overbroad and glorifies ableism. It propagates that persons with typical abilities and with faculties similar to what the majority may have or somehow superior. This is precisely what the directive principles of state policy, the United Nations Convention and the RPwD (Rights of Persons with Disabilities) Act, abhor," said a bench of justices Bhushan R Gavai and KV Viswanathan.
