Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled on the exclusion of a colour-blind individual from a Diploma in Editing course at the Film and Television Institute of India. The court emphasized that colour blindness is not a form of blindness but a deficiency in colour perception, and that educational institutions should foster inclusivity rather than conformism. The judgment highlighted the need for liberal thought in artistic education and questioned the rationale behind such exclusionary practices.
