It is mere eye wash for providing relief to government servant who himself or any family member suffers from disability. It is on whims and fiancée of Authority to which side the instructions are to be molded. I know an officer who has a female child with 100% disability who forced to travel to Kochi from Delhi on transfer, even courts denied interference on the plea exigencies of work. I can name the office -Export Inspection Council under Ministry of Commerce. Prior to this another employee with same conditions was also transferred to Kochi. No one came out to rescue the child and parents.
