HC rejects disabled student146;s plea

According to petitioner8217;s advocate Uday Warunjikar they had contended that the student is suffering from hearing, speech and multiple disabilities and it would not be proper to admit him to a school for spastics.

The government in June had told the High Court that directions were given for admission to other special schools in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.

Based on that, the court had disposed the petition challenging removal of students with multiple disabilities from Sanskardham School.

The court had observed that as the state had made arrangement for admission in other special schools, there was no grievance left to be addressed. The court also noted that after the petitioner was removed from Sanskardham School, he was given admission at Ali Yavar Jung Institute.However, the petitioner complained it was not running on a day-to-day basis and not meant for persons with multiple disabilities.

The state finally suggested the school of Spastics Society of India. But the parents feel that a school for spastics won8217;t be proper.

8220;I have now advised them to move the Supreme Court,8221; said Warunjikar.
