Supreme Court slams Centre for making visually impaired man run from pillar to post for civil service job

In a significant decision, the Supreme Court ruled against the Centre's practice of denying a visually impaired man a civil service job on the grounds of his disability. The Court criticized the government for insisting on a running test as a prerequisite for the post, which was discriminatory. Emphasizing equality and non-discrimination, the Court directed the government to provide suitable accommodations for differently abled individuals to compete fairly in civil service exams. This ruling underscores the importance of inclusive policies in government recruitment processes.
