Circles vested with the powers personally in case of any genuine difficulty. A
copy of order is submitted here with.
The GDS employees are subjected to
disabilities and become invalid and their nature of duties did not permit them
to select another suitable post.

order and it is not known whether the order is kept in abeyance or withdrawn.
The GDS employees in such cases don’t have medical facility , pension or any
terminal benefit and the families are the victims of the penury.

the Circle Heads to implement this order in the spirit of section 47 of the
persons with Disabilities Act 1995.
