In Brief
A student with learning disabilities (dyscalculia) sought admission to a Master's Design course through a writ petition. The High Court admitted her provisionally but rejected her substantive entitlement under the Persons with Disabilities Act. Though affirming the High Court's legal findings, the Supreme Court invoked Article 142 to declare her qualification valid since she had already completed the course. The Court declined to cancel her candidature to avoid jeopardising her qualification, while clarifying that future claims for disability benefits would be determined purely according to law.
