Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, particularly Section 33, which mandates the inclusion of persons with disabilities in public employment. The Court ruled that the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission's decision to set a disability percentage for the Civil Judge (Junior Division) post was valid and did not violate the Act. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to exclude the appellant from the list of successful candidates based on the established criteria.
