casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court disposed of the Special Leave Petition filed by Sanoj Benjamin, a visually-impaired and orphan student who was denied hostel accommodation after 7 years of stay due to university eligibility rules. The Court directed Dr. Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University, Lucknow to sympathetically reconsider the petitioner's hostel allotment/continuation request by relaxing the eligibility conditions, consistent with a similar directive issued in the Pawan Kumar Mishra case. The petitioner is required to submit an application to the University for this purpose. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
