IN A RECENT
DECISION, THE HON’BLE HIGH COURT OF MADRAS HAS RULED THAT DISABLED
CANDIDATES, WHO ARE ENTITLED TO 3% RESERVATION IN JOBS, CANNOT SEEK EXTENSION
OF THE BENEFIT TO PROMOTIONS AS WELL.
WHILE THE COURT DISMISSED A
WRIT PETITION SEEKING RESERVATION OF 3% OF VACANCIES IN PROMOTIONS FOR
DISABLED PERSONS, THE COURT OBSERVED THAT EVEN UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE
PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES, PROTECTION OR RIGHTS AND FULL
PARTICIPATION) ACT, 1995, RESERVATION CAN BE MADE ONLY AFTER IDENTIFICATION
OF POSTS. THOSE PROVISIONS ARE CONTEMPLATED ONLY FOR INITIAL APPOINTMENT AND
NOT FOR PROMOTIONS.
