Headnote | Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 – ss.32 and 33 – Reservation for disabled candidates – Eligibility for appointment – State Government circulated G.O. dated 07-05-1999 identifying the posts which can be manned by suitable disabled candidates under the Disabilities Act, 1995 – High Court struck down the G.O. holding that insofar as it provided reservation to persons with disabilities in the category of hearing impairment alone, it was illegal and ultravires to Arts. 14 and 16 of the Constitution as well as s.3 of the U.P. Reservation Act of 1993 and ss.32 and 33 of the Disabilities Act, 1995; and that reservation would be applicable to each category of disabled persons – Held: The High Court completely misread ss.32 and 33 of the Disabilities Act, 1995 – Identification of posts and the category of disabled candidates who could be appointed against the posts reserved is the power conferred on the appropriate Government, which is the State Government in the present case – The State Government took a conscious decision to reserve certain posts for hearing impaired candidates and not for candidates with locomotor disability – Order of High Court striking the G.O. in question as a whole was based on surmises and conjectures, and thus the said order cannot be sustained in law – Since the posts in question, i.e. posts of Safai-Karmis were not identified to be filled up from amongst the candidates having locomotor disability, the appellant could not be appointed against such category of post, even though they had appeared for cycling test or for interview – Appellants were not eligible for the appointment against such posts – Constitution of India, 1950 – Arts. 14 and 16 – U.P. Reservation Act of 1993 – s.3 – Service Law – Appointment – Of persons with disabilities. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
