Rajeev Kumar Gupta & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the denial of statutory reservation benefits for persons with disabilities (PWD) in Group A and B posts of Prasar Bharati, as per the impugned memoranda, violates Sections 32 and 33 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. The Court emphasized that the government is mandated to reserve not less than three percent of IDENTIFIED POSTS for PWD, and the exclusion of Groups A and B from this reservation contravenes the Act's objectives. The Court ruled in favor of the petitioners, affirming their right to reservation in these posts.
