When SCs/STs can have reservations for promotions, why not the disabled
persons? its sucidal on those suggesting the disabled not to fight for
reservations for promotions. Infact, disabled should have more reservations
than the reserved castes/tribes.

Dear Friends,
I am sure what I am going to write is not going to be popular but all the
same:
We must fight for non-discrimination at the time of promotional
examinations on the basis of disabilities. Reservation at the time of
promotion is going to not solve our problem. What George said about
providing of appropriate work environment, technology etc. is the
right approach rather than always clamouring for reservation. I think
we all (including me) tend to look for easy way out and then keep
complaining when these demands go unfulfilled.
We have had friends (some of them on the list) who have overcome their
disability and risen to great heights.
I fail to understand as to what is so shocking in the judgment? We
cannot expect every citizen of this country to look at us in a way
that will suit us.
If we have followed ADA litigation, courts have become weary to give
judgments in favour of the disabled and we fortunately have been very
lucky in India.
I may add that although Maharashtra government was compelled to give
appropriate aids and appliances vide a directive of 2011, many
disabled employees have shown their reluctance to claim these. So let
us also introspect and then comment.
With best wishes,
Ketan

SC: Differently abled can’t claim quota in promotion

NEW DELHI: Differently abled persons can claim benefit of reservation in
government jobs only at the time of appointment and cannot get the
benefit
of the affirmative policy in promotion, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday
while clarifying its earlier verdict.
A bench of Justices Ranjan Gogoi and N V Ramana said the apex court's
2013
verdict did not hold that the reservation policy could also be extended
to
promotion in jobs and stressed that the disabled could claim benefits
only
at the time of recruitment.
The SC had in 2013 directed the Centre and all state governments to
provide
three per cent job reservation to disabled persons in all their
departments,
companies and institutions under Persons with Disabilities (Equal
Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act which
came
into force in 1995.
The Centre submitted that the court had not, while passing order for
three
percent reservation, dealt with the issue of reservation in promotion and
the disabled could not be allowed to claim the benefits.
Although the Court had directed that all vacancies under 3% reservation
be
filled up within three months, the governments failed to comply with the
order in the last two years and there are still 10,000 vacant posts in
central government. Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar assured the court that
all vacancies would be filled up by the end of this financial year.
