The Petitioner has filed a Petition on Behalf of the Viklang Manch Jharkhand against the state of Jharkhand.

The petitioner in the writ petition is the President of the Jharkhand Viklang Manch which is a premier organization in the State of Jharkhand, working for the welfare and rights of disabled people since last 7 years.

He is a social activist and a Public Spirited citizen of India and is residing within the territorial jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court. Therefore, he wields the right to file a PIL for protection of the Rights of the Visually Impaired.

The PIL relates to objection raised by Jharkhand Viklang Manch when it challenged the notification issued by Jharkhand academic council ahead of the teacher eligibility test-2012 which stated that no extra time would be granted to disabled candidates.

The court had admitted a part of the petition to seek stand of the government in granting extra time to disabled candidates in all other examination.

It is, therefore, humbly prayed that this Hon’ble Court may graciously be pleased to: To Direct the Respondents to Re conduct the examinations of persons with disabilities who could not take up their exam due to lack of proper arrangements such as no additional time provided and no proper scribe facility.
