Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who is colour blind, should be considered for appointment to the posts of Agricultural Officer of Class II Service, excluding the five posts that require perfect vision. The Court emphasized that colour blindness does not impede the performance of duties for the majority of the posts available. The Government was directed to make the appointment within two months of receiving the order, thereby allowing the appeal.
