Hello Jalaja My primary objection is to the very fact of a doctor sitting in final judgment over what a person with a particular disability can and can not do.
I think being a doctor yourself, you would appreciate the fact that a doctor is in best possession of medical knowledge about a particular condition. However, any condition including a disability is far more than just a medical condition and has various dimensions which all come into play when it comes to performing actual work or being socially active etc. So, the practice of giving undue powers to doctors about work capabilities of a disabled violates sound jurisprudential principles as well as common sense. I think, the duly constituted committee for identification of posts set up by central government is so far the appropriate authority to decide and identify particular posts for particular disabilities. Various other interdisciplinary bodies may be constituted, if the need be, for the said purpose, but making medicos almighty is something which I can not bear with.
