Okay, after reading the whole judgment, I am astonished at our media as how
they misrepresent the court judgments.
In fact, the said judgment categorically states that disabled have no
statutory right of relaxed standards like minimum marks, and so consequently
cannot be treated at par with SC and ST or OBC in this matter.
It does contain points to ponder, however, and I have got a good case for my
research.
We should point out to the committee various facets of the problems and suggest
provisions in the new law, which I am afraid we are not doing on the blog.
Anyway, I will do my bid and keep posting on the blog, and after 15th of this
month, will begin consolidation of our recommendations and would let all know.
I expect opinions at least from some members who are conversant with fact of
disability existence and can really contribute.
Regards

Treat disabled on a par with SC/STs: HC
New Delhi: The Delhi HC on Tuesday said a physicallychallenged person should be
treated on a par with SC/ST candidates, while relaxing qualifying marks for
admission in professional courses.
The HC asked the government to consider the recommendations of the chief
commissioner for disabilities who had directed all governmentaided institutions
to extend the relaxed norms to physically-disabled candidates to bring them on
a par with SC/ST candidates.
However, the bench refused relief to a handicapped student who had sought
such relaxation for admission to a medical college, saying there is no such
provision in law at present. "The disabled persons have a right to reservation,
but there is no right to relaxation in the minimum standards," it said. AGENCIES
