In Brief
A person with disabilities from the Scheduled Caste category sought reservation benefits for Indian Administrative Service selection. He argued entitlement under the Persons with Disabilities Act, Section 33, relying on Supreme Court precedent. The petition raised questions about whether persons with disabilities have reservation rights in selection-based IAS recruitment alongside existing SC quota, and about the retrospective effect of the Court's earlier ruling. The Supreme Court granted leave and tagged the matter with related pending appeals to achieve a comprehensive decision on the interconnected issues involving disability reservation, recruitment regulations, and government office memoranda."
