BHUDEV SHARMA vs DISTRICT JUDGE, BULANDSHAHR

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 judgment that denied the appellant's claim, directing his appointment to the post forthwith and regularization of his employment. The ruling emphasizes the importance of adhering to statutory reservations for disabled individuals in government employment.
