Re: [AI] Blind person denied job in railways because of diabetesIn reply to the second point, disqualification on the basis of diabetes for all and not limited to the VI. To your third point, once disqualified due to diabetes, no question of giving alternative jobs. - Original Message - From: Pankaj Kwatra To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 9:43 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Blind person denied job in railways because of diabetes Hello All, Medical examination is done for various jobs and stringent norms are in place for some jobs.

Re: [AI] Blind person denied job in railways because of diabetes
Hello Mr. Subramani, According to me, the best way of finding solution to this chaos is to first ascertain whether physically fit person too can be disqualified on the basis of diabetes or not. If this is a universal rule for all categories of candidates then it should not be related specifically with VI community. In this case, we may be one of the victims, but not the exclusive one. Well, I don’t have idea about the definition of “fit” applicable to all for getting selected for Gov. jobs. But this can be easily obtained through RTI and its finding should determine the next course of action. 1. If it is for all, then concentration should be put on discarding such rules through strong arguments in legal battle. One of such can be that “if person during service is not thrown out of job due to diabetes, then why not to appoint with it?” 2. And, if the rule is specially applied for VI candidate, then I don’t think that it would stand in any court on the basis of “protection from discrimination”.

Re: [AI] Blind person denied job in railways because of diabetes
Thought there are no laws in the country regarding non discrimination/ reasonable accommodation on ground of disabling medical condition, however, there was one case recently about a person with thalassameia who was denied entry into Civil Services. The Prime Minster intervened and his case was resolved. Similarly, there was a case related to a person with kidney problem and I think High Court intervened. I think it may be a good idea to test it in the Court giving these precedents. Does Govt dismiss employees who have diabetes? then why are they not recruiting them? Moreover, if the person can do the essential functions of the job with / without accommodations, refusing recruitment is discrimination. Rama From: Vamshi.

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.

Re: [AI] Blind person denied job in railways because of diabetes
Re: [AI] Blind person denied job in railways because of diabetesDear Rama, my arguments coincides with your, if diabetics can be rejected for recruitment, then employees with the same disease should be thrownout of service. But let along that, government pays for treatment of such diseases even such aren't curable. - Original Message - From: Rama Chari To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2012 11:28 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Blind person denied job in railways because of diabetes Thought there are no laws in the country regarding non discrimination/ reasonable accommodation on ground of disabling medical condition, however, there was one case recently about a person with thalassameia who was denied entry into Civil Services.
