UNION OF INDIA vs NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's interpretation of Section 33 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, affirming the necessity for the Union of India to ensure reservation for persons with disabilities in government jobs. The Court emphasized that despite previous executive orders, the implementation of these reservations had been inadequate, leading to discrimination against visually challenged individuals. The Court directed the Union of India to comply with the statutory provisions and modify existing orders to facilitate proper implementation of the Act.
