[AI] India wins cricket world cup!

2018-01-20 Thread Sandeep Singh 
Hey friends, good news!
India has once again won the blind cricket world cup!
In a tough final played in Dubai, India defeated their arch rivals
Pakistan by 2 wickets last evening.
Pakistan scored a hefty 308/8 playing first and India chased down this
formidable total with 2 wickets and 1 over to spare.
Congratulations to the boys and all the fraternity!
Regards
Sandeep

Re: [AI] Reservation For The Persons With Benchmark Disabilities.

2018-01-20 Thread Amiyo Biswas 
A separate OM should be there for promotion. Let us hope, once things get 
going, more orders will come up. However, in section 20(3) of the RPD Act, 
it is stated,

No promotion shall be denied to a person merely on the ground of disability.

Even if there is no reservation in promotion, this clause will enable us to 
compete for the normal reservation. There is already a Madras high court 
judgemet some years back commenting against reservation in promotion for 
pwd. Luckily, the government did not pick up the cue in fear of pressure 
from us.

Thanks a lot Amiyo ji.

Overall it looks good. In my view this clause could be interpreted in
different ways by employers

Only when there is no person with benchmark disability available for the
post in that year, the employer shall fill up the vacancy by appointment
of a
person, other than a person with benchmark disability.

May be people from the legal fraternity can help in understand if i am
doing too much analysis
