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." The petition, filed by South Arcot Vallalar District Handicapped Welfare Association represented by its president S Shanmugam and secretary K Duraisamy, sought a suitable direction to the state government to reserve three per cent of vacancies in promotions for the disabled, besides carrying over the unfilled posts for the next three successive years.
