LAHORE
Lahore High Court Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Monday sought a detailed reply from the federal government about non-implementation of three per cent quota for the disabled in government appointments.
The court was hearing a petition in which it was pleaded that the disabled were on roads for their rights and the government failed to resolve the issues with regard to their rights protected in the law. It was pointed out that the government increased the quota from two to three percent, but it was not implemented.
The petitioner asked the court to direct the government to explain regarding non-implementation of job quota of the disabled. A deputy attorney general told the court that the federal government had instructed all institutions to implement the quota in appointments.
