Disability percentage can’t determine capability for public employment: Supreme Court| India News

Published by Parlour News

The Supreme Court has held that the percentage of disability cannot be treated as determinative of a candidate’s capability or suitability for public employment, underlining that the State carries a positive obligation to ensure equal opportunity and provide reasonable accommodation to persons with disabilities. Disability percentage can’t determine capability for public employment: Supreme Court A bench of justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta made the observation while ordering the Himachal Pradesh government to appoint a lawyer with 90% permanent locomotor disability as an assistant district attorney (ADA), setting aside the state’s decision to deny him the post despite his success in the selection process. The court also imposed costs of ₹5 lakh on the state, noting that the candidate, Prabhu Kumar, had been “unjustly denied appointment” despite being meritorious and was forced to undergo prolonged litigation. “The percentage of disability, by itself, cannot be treated as determinative of a candidate’s capability or suitability for public employment,” held the bench in a judgment released on Tuesday, emphasising that the statutory framework under the Rights of Persons …

Varun Aaron lauds Washington Sundar’s innings in 3rd T20I: ‘Australia likely underestimated his capability to play the short ball’ | Cricket News

Washington Sundar played a big role in India’s successful run chase against Australia in the 3rd T20I at Hobart on Sunday with the all-rounder slamming an unbeaten 49 off 23 deliveries to help the Men in Blue win by 5 wickets and level the series 1-1. Former India player Varun Aaron and former Australia cricketer Aaron Finch lauded Sundar’s efforts, highlighting his effectiveness with the bat. “Washington has demonstrated his effectiveness with the bat, especially against short-pitched deliveries, as we saw in the previous IPL. His first five boundaries off the fast bowlers were all through short balls, showing how well he thrives on them. Australia likely underestimated his capability to play the short ball, and his early six off Nathan Ellis set the tone perfectly. Though he didn’t bowl in this match, his contribution with the bat was crucial, and he could well be the player of the match for this T20 international,” Aaron said on JioHotstar’s Cricket Live.

Google Is Adding Native Image Editing Capability to the Gemini App

Published by Webster

Google is expanding the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered native image editing feature to the Gemini app. Announced on Wednesday, this new capability will allow users to make specific changes to images without leaving the AI chatbot. This capability was first unveiled in March within the Google AI Studio platform. Powered by the Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model, the feature allows users to conversationally ask the chatbot to change elements, add, replace or remove objects, enhance the background, and more.
