The Supreme Court has crafted a victory for a disabled student by using its special powers under Article 142 to declare the successful completion of her Master of Designs course from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).
The student, Naman Varma, submitted to be suffering from a learning disability called dyscalculia.
A three-judge Bench led by Justice U.U. Lalit said her qualification would “hold good for all practical purposes”. The court directed that Ms. Varma should be handed over the degree and all other testimonials.
