RPwD Act, 2016 | Statutory Disability Certificate Prevails Over General Medical Fitness Assessment in Public Employment : Calcutta HC
Calcutta High Court rules that a valid disability certificate issued under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, cannot be disregarded by a general medical fitness assessment for government jobs. The court emphasized that appointment cannot be denied based on perceived disability percentage if a statutory certificate exists, reinforcing the primacy of statutory certification in public employment.
