Dear madam, "His reasoning was that low vision would get the first position in the roster and the blind would have to wait"
On what basis is this decided? How can anyone say low vision will get the first position? If there is an explicit provision in the statue that blind should have the first position in the roster, how can the preference go to the low vision? For example, there is a rule in Andhra Pradesh that women should have the first position in the roster in VH reservation. As a result, recent two notifications in state government universities in AP reserved the posts for visually handicapped women instead of for VH in general. Similarly, if we can have something like first position for blind in the roster, the reservation should be made for the blind.
