Whether the post of Group D in question was identified/reserved for blind? If no, I am afraid the disqualification may have other reasons than alleged diabetes.

First, this disqualification is not on the ground of disability, but on the ground of a disease (diabetes). So, I doubt whether PWD Act applies to this case. We should find out whether government can disqualify on the ground of such diseases . Second, I heard of some case where a person with HIV positive has been disqualified and the court gave the ruling against such denial. So, if HIV positive can't be denied a job, sure a person with diabetes shouldn't be. however I'm not sure of any concrete legal remedy. You may hear more from legal experts. -- G.
