casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Amita v. Union of India Court Decision: The Supreme Court ruled that Amita, a visually impaired candidate, was wrongfully denied the opportunity to appear in the bank's Probationary Officer entrance examination. The Court found the rejection violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution (equality and equal opportunity rights) since the advertisement contained no disability restriction. The Court allowed her to compete either as a general candidate or under reserved category for persons with disabilities, with her age restriction relaxed given the prolonged proceedings.
