Karnataka H.C. dismisses plea of disabled girl for seat in professional course
D.N.I.S. News Network In a negative turn of events, the Karnataka
High Court dismissed a petition by a physically disabled candidate claiming
that she was not allotted a seat in a professional college under the disability
quota.
Bagalkot Hospital issued a disability certificate to Aishwarya. Thus she was entitled to a Government seat under the physically disabled quota. On June 26, counselling for seats started at the C.E.T. Cell. Although the process began with allotment of seats for the physically disabled, the authorities claimed that Aishwarya was not eligible for a seat under the quota. But the student stated that, of the 129 seats reserved for the physically disabled, only 62 seats had been filled up and the remaining had been transferred to the general category.
