Query about issue of driving licence

Dear respected Lawyers,

I am a one eyed person and working as an Assistant professor in a medical college.

I want a driving licence for my personal use for a car and scooter.

So I would like to know whether I can get a driving licence legally ?

I would like to inform that my left eye quite normal.

Thanks

Section 9 (8) (b) of Motor Vehicles Act specifies that the applicant who is desirous of obtaining driving license has to produce a medical certificate in the form and in the manner referred to in Sub - Section (3) of Section 8. It, therefore, follows that even if a person is one-eyed, he can be issued with a driving license if he is medically certified that the disability that he is suffering from will not be a source of danger to the public. He can apply for grant of driving license as per Section 9 of Motor Vehicles Act 1988.
