Lali.D.S. D/O. D.K.Sreedharan vs Mahatma Gandhi University on 1 June, 2010
2. Both the State and the P.S.C. contends that, the
Government has already published the list of posts
identified under Section 32 of the Act, which does not
include the post of Legal Assistant Grade-II in the Law
Department and therefore the petitioner is not entitled to
seek appointment in the 3% reservation category to the post
of Legal Assistant Grade-II. They rely on the decision of this
court in Lali v. Mahatma Gandhi University [2010 (3) KLT
539] as also the decision of this court in W.P. (C)
No.15485/2009 in support of their contention. The counsel
for the respondents 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 16 and 20 to 22 would
contend that, insofar as the Government has not identified
this post as one suitable for accommodating the

appointment of physically handicapped persons the
question of application of reservation as per the Act to this
post does not arise.
Govt Of India Th:Secy & Anr vs Ravi Prakash Gupta & Anr on 7 July, 2010
5. I am of opinion that, in view of the said provisions
of the Act, it is mandatory for the State to identify all the
posts which can be suitably manned by physically
handicapped persons of any particular category with their
disability, mentioned in the Act. The Government cannot
arbitrarily hold that they have decided not to identify a
particular post as one in which 3% reservation has to be
made for physically handicapped persons even though the
duties of the post can be discharged by physically
handicapped persons with their disability. It is the cardinal
duty of the State to identify all the posts which can be
manned by physically handicapped persons as those coming
within Section 32 of the Act in view of the mandatory
W.P.(C)No. 28824 of 2010

provisions of the Act. The State cannot insist that for this
purpose they have identified only certain posts. If the
duties of a particular post can be performed by a physically
handicapped person of any of the categories, the State is
bound to identify that post under Section 32 unless the
establishment is exempted under the proviso to Section 33
of the Act. I am supported in this view by a decision of the
Supreme Court in Government of India through
Secretary and another v. Ravi Prakash Gupta [(2010)
7 SCC 626], in paragraphs 24 to 29 of which it is stated
thus:
