Reasonable Accommodation Under RPWD Act | Transfer Causing Physical Hardship to Disabled Teacher Invalidated : Rajasthan HC

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that transferring a teacher with permanent locomotor disability to a location exacerbating his physical hardship violates the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. The judgment mandates that public employers must prioritize accommodation over administrative convenience, setting a critical precedent for disability-inclusive public service policies.
