Reservation to Persons with disabilities in employment-Service Matter.

This query is : Open
There is provision for reservation (not less than 3 percent) in govt. employment to persons with disabilities in terms of Persons with disabilities Act, 1995 and Office Memorandum issued in the December, 2005 and in the year 1996 (available on the official website of the Chief Commissioner for persons with disabilities). Most of the departments are not implementing the provisions in this regard and interpreting the Act and OMs differently.
I need clarification whether a person with disability, who is selected for a post on his own merit (without relaxed standard)can be denied the benefits admissible to persons with disabilities. Will such candidate be treated as 'General Candidate' for placement in seniority list and promotion purpose?
Kindly clarify and provide the rules/court order/s in this regard.
