Steno Legal Dictation No. 413

The Supreme Court recently pulled up the State of Rajasthan for not complying with the requirement of 1 per cent reservation for persons suffering from blindness in state services in the 1999 recruitment process conducted by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC). A Bench of Justice Abhay S Oka, Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Justice Augustine George Masih was dealing with an appeal by a candidate suffering from 98 per cent blindness who was not called for an interview despite being the only blind candidate who appeared for the Main Exam of the Rajasthan State and Sub-ordinate Services Combined Competitive Exam, 1999. The Supreme Court has listed the matter on September 25, 2024 with a view to ensure the appellant does not suffer injustice.
