Petitioner submits that he appeared before the Chief Medical Officer and there also, he was found to be unfit. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have not passed any orders, much less, did they provide any alternative employment in terms of Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 (for short ‘the Act’) Disabilities Act. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. A perusal of the letter, dated 03-04-2010, issued by the Depot Manager to the Chief Medical Officer, Medical Board, APSRTC, discloses the very fact that the petitioner was found unfit and he was not taken on duty.
