Dear Kanchan Mam, does it imply that fully blind people are not eligible for UPSC? At least for the time being! Please, simplify these legal terms...
"(a): Civil Services Examination (CSE) Rules, 2010 inter-alia, provide that partially blind candidates are eligible for appointment into IAS. (b) to (d): The Orders of the CAT Principal Bench in various OAs are under consideration in consultation with Department of Legal Affairs. Note: It is evident that that in the light of the adverse comments from the CAT and earlier orders from courts, the rules have been revised in 2010 debarring fully blind persons for induction into IAS."
