Govt. job for daughter cancelled on grounds of diabetes

RESPECTED LAWYERS,

MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN SELECTED IN A GOVERNMENT JOB AT THE AGE OF 23 YEARS. HER CANDIDATURE IS BEING CANCELLED BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM JUVENILE DIABETES MELLITUS FROM AGE OF 11 YEARS. RECENTLY, SHE UNDERWENT KIDNEY TRANSPLANT ALSO. SOMEONE HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A JUDGEMENT OF COURT WHICH SAYS THAT JUVENILE DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS CANNOT BE DENIED GOVT. JOBS BASED ON THEIR ILLNESS. I WANTED YOUR EXPERT COMMENTS ON THIS AND IF ANYONE HAS A COPY OR LINK TO THE JUDGEMENT GIVEN BY HONORABLE COURT. I WILL BE HIGHLY OBLIGED TO YOU.

REGARDS,

I Tend to agree with you. There are opinions that diabetes is not a disease/is curable or controlable imbalance.

However the kidney transplant may be in list of medical disorders of the establishment for rejection.

You may not get releif from heirarchy. However complete the internal remedies by making representations to Selection Authority, Chairman's office..............................before you contemplate to aproach court.
