VIVEK SINGH vs STATE OF U.P

The Supreme Court ruled that the U.P. Public Service Commission must adhere to the reservation policy for physically handicapped candidates as mandated by the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunity, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. The Court held that the State Government's failure to reserve posts from the initial stage of recruitment constitutes a violation of the Act. Consequently, the Court directed the appointment of the appellant as a Deputy Collector, recognizing his entitlement under the reserved category.
