New Delhi: Delhi HC has said “seeing” is not limited to physical sight, but extends to the ability to understand, reports Abhinav Garg. “The function of sight… is in fact largely performed by the brain… power of cognition and understanding vests in the brain, not solely the eye, which acts only as a recorder and transmitter,” it said.“If a blind candidate, with the aid of assistive devices, is able to perceive what is necessary to discharge the functions of the JE (Law) post, they must be regarded as possessing the functional attribute of sight,” HC said Thursday, partly allowing a plea by three candidates against their rejection by AAI for govt posts.
