The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Centre and all state governments to provide three per cent job reservation to disabled persons in all their departments, companies and institutions.
A bench headed
by Chief Justice P Sathasivam also clarified that the principle of not
exceeding more than 50 per cent reservation would not be applicable while
granting quota for disabled persons.
The apex court
directed the authorities to compile the number of vacancies in all their
departments to give jobs to disabled persons under three per cent reserved
quota within three months.
The bench said
it is an “alarming reality” that disabled persons are not getting jobs because
of various social barriers forcing them to live life in poverty and negligence.
