Disabilities Act – Approach and Attitude of the State

Judgment dated 12.9.2025 of the High Court of Bombay in Writ Petition No.6706 of 2025 of Shabana Rashid Pinjari   Vs.  Maharashtra Public Service Commission

The petitioner suffers from visual impairment with 100% permanent blindness.   The petitioner passed the preliminary and mains examination with total score of 192.48.   However, the name of the petitioner was not included in the provisional selection list.  However, this was done without implementing the provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.   According to the petitioner, 39 candidates securing less marks than him have been selected from the visually impaired category.

The MPSC has given preference of only one post which was available for unreserved category.  The MPSC has virtually defeated the object for which the Disabilities Act is brought into force.

Approach and attitude of the Executive for the Differently abled persons must be liberal and relief oriented and not obstructive or lethargic.

When persons with disabilities are unable to realize their full potential due to the barriers posed in their path, our society suffers, as much, if not more do the disabled people involved.   In this blooming and blossoming, we all bloom and blossom.

The respondent, by providing only a single option of appointing authority and that too, in a post available for unreserved open category virtually obstructed the petitioner enforcing what is rightfully due to her under the Disabilities Act.
