Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed 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 should not automatically disqualify a candidate and highlighted the need for a liberal approach in artistic education. A committee was proposed to evaluate the implications of colour blindness on the course requirements, reinforcing the importance of inclusivity in educational institutions.
