AMITA vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court ruled that the rejection of a visually impaired candidate's application for the post of Probationary Officer by the Banking Services Recruitment Board violated Articles 14, 16, 19(g), and 21 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that the eligibility criteria did not exclude visually impaired candidates, and the Board's decision was arbitrary and discriminatory. The Court directed the Board to allow the petitioner to sit for the examination, thereby upholding the rights of persons with disabilities under The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995.
