Considering the contentions raised in this Public Interest Litigation and the counter affidavits filed by the respondents it appears that: The Government of Jharkhand has already framed policy for handicapped persons which is published on 05.10.2012. As per the said policy several benefits have been given to the handicapped persons. As per the State of Jharkhand resolution dated 07.11.2012, there is a reservation for handicapped persons in public employment and in admission process in the educational institutions. Department of Personnel of the State of Jharkhand vide letter no. 4821 dated 5th June, 2013 has issued instructions to all the departments as well as to the Jharkhand Public Service Commission and also to the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission and Combined Examination Board for compliance of the Government of India vide letter no.16110/2003 dated 26th February, 2013 for grant of “compensatory time” to the “differently abled persons” in the competitive examinations etc. Department of Human Resources (Directorate of Higher Education) has issued a notification no. Department of Human Resources (Directorate of Higher Education) has issued a notification no. 1449 dated 23rd September, 2014 to all the Universities situated in the State of Jharkhand to give the “compensatory time” to the “differently abled persons” in all the examinations conducted by the Universities. It ought to be kept in mind that human life is gift of God. Some persons have taken birth as “differently abled persons” and some persons during their life for any reason whatsoever becomes handicapped persons. Civilization of any society is tested upon the fact how much care the society is taking of mad persons, disabled persons, the persons in the jail, senior citizens, women and children. “Extra Care” is required to be taken by the society for its one of the components namely “handicapped persons” who are addressed as “differently abled persons”. This principle to take “extra care” is emerging out of the “principles of equality”. For maintenance of equality the handicapped persons should be given extra lift, by the society at large, so that even though they are handicapped persons, they may not feel handicapped in competing with other similarly situated children or examinees, in school, college, university examinations or during their competitive examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission or by Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission or by Combined Examination Board. For the development of the society as a whole, the abilities of “differently abled persons” can be brought out by giving “compensatory time” during their examination. For maintenance of the uniformity and consistency, across the State, for the persons with disabilities, for written examination, “compensatory time” should be provided by all the authorities who are “State” within the meaning of the Article 12 of the Constitution of India. This “compensatory time” provides a level playing field to the handicapped persons. The grant of “compensatory time” puts them at par with the other students or candidates, who are giving exams. Thus, the principles of equality enshrined in Article 14 demands grant of “compensatory time” to the “differently abled persons” in the examinations conducted by the authorities, who are “State” within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. Detail guidelines for conducting the written examinations for persons with disability has been pointed out in a communication dated 26th February, 2013 by the letter of Government of India bearing no. Detail guidelines for conducting the written examinations for persons with disability has been pointed out in a communication dated 26th February, 2013 by the letter of Government of India bearing no. 16-110/2003 (Annexure-A series to the supplementary counter affidavit filed by the State dated 18th June, 2014), shall be followed by the State of Jharkhand and will be followed by the respondent-Universities, Jharkhand Public Service Commission, Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission and the Combined Examination Board as per the direction given by the State of Jharkhand letter no. 4821 dated 05.06.2013 as well as stated in the notification no. 1449 dated 23rd September, 2014 issued by the Department of Human Resources (Directorate of Higher Education) to all the universities situated in the State of Jharkhand. It is also expected from the Jharkhand High Court that whenever any examination is conducted by the High Court of Jharkhand “compensatory time” will be given to the “differently abled persons” and for this purpose this order will be placed before Hon'ble the Chief Justice of this Court for necessary administrative order to be issued. 10.
