Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, an establishment cannot terminate an employee who acquires a disability during service. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate the employee, emphasizing that the employer had a duty to accommodate the employee's disability. The appeal by the employer was dismissed, affirming the reinstatement with back wages and benefits.
