Dear Ankit Jee
The problem is perennial and there have not been any precedents to my knowledge
of forfeiture of job or seat anywhere for producing certificate of more
percentage of disability.
It is a herculean task to achieve this.
However, percentage model of disability is not sound in my opinion, and it
should be replaced by extent model which can have categories like moderately
and severely disabled.
I think there need not be any category of mildly disabled, not at least for
reservation etc. and so, slight impairment cannot be misused.
Moreover, certification of disability and guidelines for it are purely
medically oriented, which need to be changed.
Let us give our suggestions to the new committee, and let us discuss this in
detail on AI blog.
Regards
