In Brief
A student claimed to suffer from dyscalculia (a learning disability) and sought admission to an IIT Bombay Master's Design programme. The High Court issued interim orders allowing her admission pending the writ petition's final hearing. She completed the course successfully, but the High Court found her entitlement under disability protection laws unestablished. The Supreme Court affirmed the High Court's legal reasoning but invoked Article 142 to declare the appellant's qualification valid, refusing to cancel it after she had completed the course in good faith reliance on court orders. The degree was ordered delivered within four weeks."
