The Delhi High Court quashed the recruitment process for an assistant professor post reserved for persons with disabilities (PwD). The court cited the 100 percent interview-based selection, lacking structured criteria and objective benchmarks, as arbitrary and violative of constitutional equality principles. It also found the process contravened the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act's reservation mandate. The court directed a re-advertisement of the post within eight weeks, emphasizing the process's failure, not the candidates'.
