Can’t bar visually impaired from principal post, Delhi HC to
Kendriya Vidyalayas.
The court said that an advertisement issued by the Kendriya Vidyalaya
Sangathan in August 2018 for the posts of principal distinguished
persons with disabilities and had the effect of excluding them from the
race of recruitment.
The Delhi high court on Monday termed as unsustainable a recruitment
advertisement issued by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan that excluded
reservation for blind persons from the post of principal.
The court observed that every act of exclusion that has the effect of
compelling a person with disabilities (PwDs) out of a race for gaining
employment without their fault is an assault on their dignity.
A bench of chief justice Satish Chandra Sharma and justice Sanjeev
Narula opined that the advertisement issued by the Sangathan in August
2018 for the posts of principal, vice-principal, PGTs, TGTs, librarian
distinguished PwDs and had the effect of excluding them from the race of
recruitment as the distinction was purely on the basis of disability.
