Now, some of them are able to get a medical certificate which is either equal to 40% OR MORE AND ARE ABLE TO ENJOY RESERVATION BENEFIT. In the process, many candidates with more severe disability miss out as they are not able to compete with them. In such a scenario, what should be the appropriate action if a person is found guilty especially in the case of milder disability which is less than 40% but has got a certificate of say more than 40% for to secure a job. Should the seat allocated to them for the job or in education institute be withdrawn. Are there any precedence to the same? Also, is the percentage model to determine the disability extent is feasible or there are any alternative in different country. Here, I am not focusing on increasing the reservation percent as a solution as this will remain as a problem in either 3% or 10%. Will look forward to your comment, opinion, reactions on the above.
