The Delhi High Court has asked the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) to file an affidavit giving the total number of vacancies notified and reservations given in accordance with the Right of Persons with Disabilities Act for the Civil Services Exam (CSE) 2020.

A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh gave this order while hearing two pleas by the disability rights organisations. The organisation Evara Foundation have alleged that seats for visually-impaired and people with multiple disabilities have not been reserved in accordance with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act of 2016.

The court has ordered DoPT to file an additional affidavit before August 2.

While hearing the case the bench said, “The DoPT will clearly highlight in the affidavit the total number of vacancies notified and the reservations given in accordance with Section 34(1) of the Right of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 as also the details of 251 vacancies for which it is stated that no reservations can be made.”

Appearing for the DoPT, Central government standing counsel Abhay Prakash Sahay, submitted that the final vacancies notified for the CSE 2020 are 836, out of which against 251 vacancies, there can be no reservation.

Mr. Sahay also mentioned that in remaining 585 vacancies, 24 have been reserved and thus the reservation is in accordance with the mandate of Section 34(1) of the Act, that is, 4 per cent.
