However, I must say Madras HC's stand is perfectly legal. PWD section 47 ensures non discrimination in promotion, it does not talk of reservation in promotion. However, reservation is provided in D and C cadre, by government but not in A and B cadre. though fight is on to ensure reservation in promotion either through reinterpretation of the existing clauses, or maybe, in the new statute.

Dismissing a writ petition seeking reservation of 3% of vacancies in promotions for disabled persons, Justice K Chandru said: "Even under the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities (equal opportunities, protection or rights and full participation) Act, 1995, reservation can be made only after identification of posts. Those provisions are contemplated only for initial appointment and not for promotions." The petition, filed by South Arcot Vallalar District Handicapped Welfare Association represented by its president S Shanmugam and secretary K Duraisamy, sought a suitable direction to the state government to reserve 3% of vacancies in promotions for the disabled, besides carrying over the unfilled posts for the next three successive years. The state commissioner for the disabled submitted that there was no government policy to reserve 3% of the posts for the disabled employees while granting promotions. Admitting that following an August 14, 1981 order, 3% of jobs are reserved for the disabled, the official said the plea to have a quota in promotion could not be considered in the absence of a state policy. Citing this response, Justice Chandru dismissed the writ petition.
