The Dean, BJGMC was directed to forward the report to the Court by 07-09-2024. The Medical Board shall consist of one or more specialists, having domain expertise pertaining to the impairment faced by the petitioner. Further, the Court clarified that the Medical Board shall not be affected by the requirements under the impugned Regulation whereby persons above 40 per cent speech and language disability are disqualified for admission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court also directed that the seat allotted to the petitioner shall be kept vacant, until any further orders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Vibhushita Sharma<\/span> v.

The Disability Certification Board, Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai had examined petitioner and certified that he was not eligible to Medical and Dental courses for having speech and language disability to extent of 44 per cent, hence, he cannot avail the 5% PwD reservation as per the Maharashtra Medical Council and Medical Council of India&#8217;s (&#8216;MCI&#8217;) notification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioner approached the Bombay High Court challenging the Regulations framed by the MCI which stipulates that persons with equal to or more than 40% disability would not be eligible to pursue MBBS course.
