The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has told the court that the Indian Police Services (IPS), Railway Protection Force (RPF), Delhi- Andaman and Nicobar Island Police Service (DANIPS), and Puducherry Police Service (PONDIPS) are exempted from the provision of Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act which states that reservations be made for PWBD.
“The Vacancy positions received for IPS, RPF, DANIPS, and PONDIPS for the CSE-2020, a total of 251 seats have been excluded from the ambit of reservation meant for PWBD,” DoPT said in its affidavit submitted to the Delhi High Court.
The affidavit was submitted in response to the court hearing, where two pleas by the Disability Rights Organizations have been filed against the decision of the government regarding the reservation for PwBD candidates in Police Services.
