don't treat it as bias and partial mail. But how a complete Hearing-impaired become a judge? As per my information, even hearing aids cannot aid him to listen the arguments advanced by lawyers.
The post is suitable for 100%visually-impaired and not for complete hearing-impaired. Delhi is providing the reservation for visually-impaired 100 percent and mobility impaired. no mention of hearing-impaired even for partially ones.
