Madras HC restores extra time for blind students

CHENNAI: Three hundred and sixty six visually impaired students from
Tamil Nadu appearing for their class ten board examinations this year
can at last
breathe easy. On Wednesday, the Madras high court passed an order,
restoring the one hour extra time for the blind as granted in a 1993
government order
that was annulled by a communiqu? issued by the department of
government examinations (GE) on March 3, 2009.The first bench
comprising chief justice
Hemant Laxman Gokhale and justice FM Ibrahim Kalifulla passed this
order based on a public interest writ petition filed by the Tamil Nadu
Handicapped Federation
Charitable Trust (TNHFCT) in response to an announcement made by the
GE on March 13, 2009.The bench said, As per provisions laid out
in GO no. 270
issued in 1993, one hour extra time should be granted to all visually
impaired students irrespective of whether they availed this exemption
in previous
years. This is applicable to both those who are writing the exam with
the help of a scribe or in the Braille format. The bench then
directed the director
of GE to communicate the order to all district educational officers
with immediate effect.The high court order has put to rest a
controversy that has
raged for close to three weeks. On March 9, 2009, The Times Of India
had informed its readers about a communiqu? issued by the GE which
annulled provisions
of a 1993 government order issued by the department of social welfare
that granted extra time to all physically handicapped students,
including the visually
impaired, appearing for board examinations.Faced with protests
from various pressure groups, the GE finally annulled its own
communiqu? and announced
on March 13 that centres that had been granting extra time hitherto
could continue to do so. The department, however, made no new orders
for those institutions
seeking to implement it, citing any announcement as inappropriate
during election time.Following this, TNHFCT filed a petition,
stating that it was
unfair to restore the benefit to select institutions. Counsel RR
Prabhakaran and P Gurusamy appearing for TNHFCT argued that it
violated article 14 (equality
before law) of the constitution.Reacting to the order issued by
the bench, TMN Deepak, vice president, TNHFCT, said, The judiciary
has stood by people
with disabilities. People suffering from disorders and disabilities
have their own difficulty in writing. Provisions of the 1993
government order should
be implemented in its full spirit and holistically. A committee should
also be formed to make sure that these guidelines are being followed.
