New Delhi:
The Supreme Court has ordered the Union government to find Ravi Prakash Gupta, who is visually impaired, a job within eight weeks in the Civil Services.
Gupta is blind. Four years ago, he cleared the Civil Services exam. He was then selected against the visually handicapped quota. But the Centre at that time argued that there was no vacancy.
For that, it will have to now pay him Rs 20,000 - part of the Supreme Court's order.
Gupta won his case in the Delhi High Court last year, which asked the government to find him a job. However, the government then appealed to the Supreme Court on the grounds that it had not found a post suitable for Gupta.
