My son secured second rank in the CLAT exam in 2014, qualifying him for admission to the prestigious National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bangalore. However, NLSIU mandates on-campus residency, which poses a challenge for my son. He underwent surgery in his childhood for a congenital condition, the outcome of which wasn’t completely successful. This necessitates a special diet and a daily routine that includes sitting on the toilet seat for an hour each morning. I’m seeking advice on whether there are any legal avenues available to exempt my son from the on-campus residency requirement based on these medical conditions.
Best Answer
Indian law allows for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, including exemptions from certain requirements. Your son’s medical condition might qualify for an exemption from the on-campus residency requirement at NLSIU. You should consult with a lawyer specializing in disability law to explore this option and understand the legal process involved.
