BEDANGA TALUKDAR vs SAIFUDAULLAH KHAN .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of reservation for disabled candidates in the recruitment process under the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. The Court held that the Assam Public Service Commission must comply with the statutory requirement to reserve 3% of vacancies for persons with disabilities, as mandated by the Act. The Court upheld the High Court's directive to the Commission to examine the entitlement of the respondent based on the identity card produced, thereby reinforcing the rights of disabled candidates in public employment.
