Reservation in sbi

mohit sharma (Querist) 24 July 2014 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,
SBI recently issued an advertisement for recruitment of Special Management Executive
https://www.sbi.co.in/portal/documents/44978/143453/CRPD+AD_July2014+issue_Eng.pdf/4c8ca38c-cafa-480c-a9a6-e0359a2f3c4c

I belong to People with disability (PWD) - Hearing Impaired (HI) category. It is observed that SBI, in it's above recruitment, have not reserved any seats for HI candidates in PWD category. Is it not must for a PSU to have reservation for all 3 disabilities (hearing, visual, orthopaedic) if they have reservation for PWD category in their advertisement? Why the discrimination for HI candidates?
thanks in advance

as per SC judgement- Every appropriate Government
shall appoint in every establishment such percentage of
vacancies not less than three per cent for persons or class of
persons with disability of which one per cent each shall be
reserved for persons suffering from-
(i) blindness or low vision;
(ii) hearing impairment;
(iii) locomotor disability or cerebral palsy,
in the posts identified for each disability:
Provided that the appropriate Government may, having
regard to the type of work carried on in any department or
establishment, by notification subject to such conditions, if any,
as may be specified in such notification, exempt any
establishment from the provisions of this section

SC held that
the computation of reservation for persons with disabilities has to
be computed in case of Group A, B, C and D posts in an identical
manner viz., “computing 3% reservation on total number of
vacancies in the cadre strength” which is the intention of the

legislature. Accordingly, certain clauses in the OM dated
29.12.2005, which are contrary to the above reasoning are struck
down and we direct the appropriate Government to issue new
Office Memorandum(s) in consistent with the decision rendered by
this Court.
