Bedanga Talukdar vs Saifudaullah Khan & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Assam Public Service Commission's failure to initially reserve posts for disabled candidates violated the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. The Court emphasized that the corrigendum issued to include a 3% reservation for physically handicapped persons was a necessary compliance with the High Court's directive. The Court upheld the High Court's order allowing respondent No.1 to participate in the examination based on his disability certificate, reinforcing the principle of inclusivity in public service recruitment.
