3% quota must for disabled people in all govt jobs including IAS: Supreme Court



3% quota must for disabled people in govt jobs: SC
Bombay HC had also directed the Centre to implement 3 per cent quota in direct recruitment.
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday held that three per cent reservation for disabled people be given in all categories of government jobs including in appointments and promotions to IAS, while pulling up the Centre for "blocking" the very purpose of this empowering legislation by opposing it.

A bench headed by Chief Justice R M Lodha said that people with disabilities have not got their due in the last 19 years despite the framing of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, which was passed in 1995.
