Section 91 RPwD Act | Mandatory Re-assessment by PGI Medical Board Required Before Disciplinary Action for Disability Fraud Allegations : PHHC
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ruled that disciplinary proceedings under Section 91 of the RPwD Act cannot be initiated based on a disputed disability assessment unless the individual is first re-evaluated by PGI.M.E.R. This establishes a due process safeguard for government employees, ensuring no punitive action can proceed without an independent, authoritative medical review.
