‘Have you got any exemption or you presumed so, it asks counsel for Department of Personnel and Training
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday expressed displeasure with the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) for failing to furnish an affidavit explaining why four participating services in the Civil Services Examination (CSE), 2020, do not have reservation for Persons With Benchmark Disability (PwBD). “Have you got any exemption or you presumed so,” a bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh asked counsel for DoPT. The court was hearing two separate petitions by NGO Sambhavana and Evara Foundation claiming that seats for visually-impaired and people with multiple disabilities have not been reserved in accordance with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act.
