Kunal Singh vs Union Of India & Anr on 13 February, 2003

In the light of the decision in Kunal Singh v. Union of India & Anr. 2003 I CLR 786), it is clear that S.47 deals with an employee who has acquired disability during service and it is not necessary that he should have suffered 40% disability. The test is whether an employee, after acquiring disability, has become unsuitable for the post he was holding earlier, and it is provided by S. 47 that in such a case, the employee could be shifted to some other post with the same pay-scale and service benefits, and if it is not possible to adjust the employee against any such post, he may be kept in a supernumerary post until a suitable post is available or he attains the age of superannuation, whichever is earlier.
