Karnataka HC Orders Disabled Employee's AAO Appointment

Karnataka HC Orders Disabled Employee's AAO Appointment

Imagine a government worker named Anil who has a disability that makes it hard for him to move.

He wanted to be promoted to a new job, but the government said no because of his disability.

Anil went to court, and the judges looked at his case.

The judges said the government should not have refused him the promotion just because of his disability, especially since he could still do the job.

The court ordered the government to give Anil the job, and they have to do it quickly.

The court also said that Anil's experience should count from the time he was originally turned down for the job.

It is like saying, the company needs to consider if someone can actually do the job, not just look at a medical report.
