A physically challenged person ( 70% disability. Both the hip joints replaced with arficial hip joints) has been selected to join as a PSU bank clerk. he is severly constrained to make long journeys specially by public transport. He is shortly to be intimated about his branch of joining. Is there any policy or Court judgements, which gives him an option to request for a branch, which is convenient to him?
