ORDER : 1. Heard. 2. Leave granted. 3. It is not disputed that as per merit, the appellants were required to be given admission in the physically handicapped category. They were not given the admission in view of the recommendations given by the Medical Council of India (MCI). However, the regulations framed by the MCI adopts the provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disability Act, 2016(RPWD). 4. As per the statutory provisions contained in the aforesaid Act which has been considered by this Court in Purswani Ashutosh (Minor) through Dr.Kamlesh Virumal Purswani Vs. Union of India and Ors. In W.P. (C) No.669/2018 decided on 24.8.2018, it has been held that statutory provisions have to prevail over the recommendations made by the Committee as the recommendations made have not taken statutory shape so far. 5. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, though appellants were entitled for admission in the MBBS course, but now as all the seats have been filled, the appellants have been illegally deprived of the admission. As such, we direct that the appellants be admitted in the next year, in MBBS course and in a government medical college as the seats of handicapped have been handed over to the general category, the seats of that category shall be reduced for the next academic session 2019-2020. 6. Accordingly, the appeals are allowed. The impugned orders passed by the High Court is set aside. Apprehension is raised that the eligibility criteria may be changed. The apprehension is baseless as any change subsequently made is not going to affect the right of the appellants to obtain admission. The order is final, conclusive and binding. 7. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
