No quota in promotion for disabled : HC
CHENNAI: Disabled candidates, who are entitled to 3% reservation in jobs, cannot seek extension of the benefit to promotions as well, the Madras high court has said. Dismissing a writ petition seeking reservation of 3% of vacancies in promotions for disabled persons, Justice K Chandru said: "Even under the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities (equal opportunities, protection or rights and full participation) Act, 1995, reservation can be made only after identification of posts. Those provisions are contemplated only for initial appointment and not for promotions."
