Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the U.P. Government's G.O. dated 26.08.1993, which reserves 2% of posts for physically handicapped persons, mandates that the appellant, a blind man, is entitled to one of the reserved posts in the Class-III recruitment for Bulandshahr Judgeship. The Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's Division Bench judgment and directed the appellant's appointment, confirming his right to regularization and consequential benefits. This decision reinforces the legal principle of affirmative action for disabled individuals in government employment.
