Union Of India & Ors vs Dileep Kumar Singh

The Supreme Court interpreted the proviso in Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, holding that the exemption for the CRPF applies only to promotions and not to the continuation of service for disabled employees. The Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's decision, affirming that the respondent should be retained in service until superannuation. The judgment emphasized the need for a literal interpretation of statutory provisions, referencing Section 33 and Section 73 of the Act.
