#Persons with Disabilities Act

Bombay HC Nagpur Bench rules that disabled employees transferred to a new cadre under Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities Act cannot retain seniority from their previous post. Promotion eligibility must be determined solely by tenure in the new cadre, impacting disability accommodation policies in government service.

Madras HC ruled that birth in Puducherry qualifies an individual for a nativity certificate even after temporary relocation for caregiving, reinforcing domicile rights. The court also held that denying employment to a person with disability (PwD) based on a non-functional medical assessment violates the statutory duty of reasonable accommodation under the RPwD Act, 2016, impacting PwD employment rights and state domicile policies.
