Judicial interpretations
Education
There has been some controversy over the interpretation of Section 39 of the PWD Act, which reads:
Section 39
"All Government educational institutions and other educational institutions receiving aid from the Government shall reserve not less than three per cent seats for persons with disabilities.”
It has been held that Section 39 applies only to government institutions. (Harsha Shivaram v. National Law School of India, Bangalore, (1999) 4 Karnataka Law Journal 626).
