What should a person do who doesn't know what dyslexia is? Watch Aamir Khan's "Taare Zameen Par". This is what the Delhi High
Court advised a petitioner who described dyslexia, a learning disorder, as a mental disorder.
Perceiving that the petitioner did not have a clear understanding of dyslexia, a bench headed by Chief Justice Ajit Prakash Shah asked
him to see the film, which is about a boy suffering from the learning disorder.
"You must have VCD at home. See 'Taare Zameen Par' to understand about the problem of dyslexia, " the court said.
The court also pulled up the petitioner, S.C. Jain, for terming dyslexia a mental disorder.
The court also pulled up the petitioner's counsel for filing a frivolous petition.
