ORDER
  

Ms. Tanu Jain, a person with 50% locomotor disability vide her complaint dated 15.01.2021 submitted that she had applied for Post Code 02/17 (DASS, Grade-IV) in PH-OH category. She had qualified Tier 1st exam and when she appeared for Tier 2nd exam (typing/skill test) on 26.12.2020 she was given exemption by exam Incharge from appearing in skill test after checking her permanent Physically Disability (50%) Certificate No. 2467/11 dated 29th June, 2011.  In addition, she had also given an application requesting exemption from appearing in Typing Test to DSSSB.  However, she was shown as disqualified in spite of fairing well in merit list on the ground that a particular Disability Certificate was not submitted. Infact, the last candidate with disability scored 101.66 marks and her score was 109.28 marks. On enquiry from DSSSB about her disqualification, she was told to submit another certificate in a new format and when she submitted the same on 22.12.2020 (in original), DSSSB has not considered her case.  There is hardly any difference between the two.

2. The complaint was taken up with the respondent vide SCN-Cum-Hearing Notice dated 03.03.2021 and a hearing was scheduled on 15.03.2021.

3. During the hearing, complainant appeared alongwith her family members and reiterarated her written submissions.  Sh. V.P. Jha, Dy. Secretary, CC-II appeared on behalf of respondent and submitted a copy of their reply dated 12.03.2021.  Copy of the same was also  given to the complainant. 

4. Sh. V.P. Jha, Dy. Secretary, CC-II stated that for seeking exemption from skill / typing test, candidate was required to give a certificate from Medical Board attached to Special Employment Exchanges for the Persons with Disabilities (or by a Civil Surgeon where there is no such Board) stating that she is unable to type at Skill Test Centre on the date of skill test i.e. 26.12.2019, but she did not submit the same at that time. Therefore, her request for seeking exemption was rejected by the Board vide Order No. 1041 dated 08.09.2020.  

4. After deliberations and discussions with the respondent and complainant, the following are recommended:

(i) DSSSB should take cognizance of the fact that the complainant Ms. Tanu Jain qualified in the merit with 109.28 marks than the candidate with 101.66 marks,  who has been selected and treated qualified while she has been left out.  The reason,   submitted by the DSSSB is about a certificate to the effect of her disability. While the complainant did submit her disability certificate (50% and above), there were slight difference in the format otherwise there is hardly any difference.  However, the same was later submitted by the complainant.  Further, prior to the examination, the exam Incharge at the centre had taken cognizance of her disability certificate and her physical disability and duly exempted her from appearing in the typing /skill test.  Besides, application to the effect requesting exemption from appearing in skill / typing test being a permanent person with disability (above 50%) was  submitted by the complainant. 

(ii) This court is of the view that the case of the complainant be looked sympathetically and with due regard to her qualifying in the merit.  Thus, it is recommended that the candidate should be helped by DSSSB in this regard as most important aspect for a person with disability (that to a girl) is economic independence, which go a long way to grant a meaningful and positive life for the concerned person with disability. 

5. Accordingly the case is disposed off. 

6. Given under my hand and the seal of the Court this 16th day of March, 2021.

Sh. Sonu Bhola, a person with 65% locomotor disability had filed a complaint vide e-mail dated 07.11.2019 under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Act 2016, hereinafter referred to as the Act and has submitted that BSES Yamuna Power Ltd. wrongly transferred another customer's dues to his wife's name bearing CA No. 151285745. He further submitted that BSES Yamuna Power Ltd. office situated at Krishna Nagar is not disabled friendly.

2. The matter was taken up with the respondent vide show cause notice dated 27.11.2019.  The respondent vide reply dated 13.01.2020 submitted that the dues of disconnected connection bearing CA number 350258813 registered in the name of brother of the complainant i.e. Sh. Surender Bhola was transferred to another connection registered in the name of the same consumer i.e. Sh. Surender Bhola.  The said connection was bearing CA number 100865686.  As the transferred dues were not paid, the same were transferred as per law to CA number 151285745 registered in the name of Ms. Rajni Bhola i.e. wife of the complainant.  The dues transferred were of Rs. 398832.59.  The matter was settled at Rs. 1,02626.71 on 15.03.2019.  Regarding accessibility of the office, the respondent submitted that there is a ramp at the entrance of the division office at Krishna Nagar and there is also the facility of the wheel chair on request.  There is a help desk on the ground floor to provide all the help and information.  

3. The reply of the respondent was forwarded to the complainant vide letter dated 10.02.2020 to file the rejoinder, if any.  The complainant submitted the rejoinder vide letter dated 08.08.2020 and a hearing was scheduled on 15.03.2021.

4. During the hearing, the complainant submitted the copies of e-mails dated 8th, 10th & 11th March, 2021 sent to the complainant by the BSES showing different status regarding dues pending.  The respondent submitted a copy of letter dated 15.03.2019 regarding settlement of dues.

5. After due deliberation and discussion, the following are recommended:-

(i) BSES, Yamuna Power Ltd. to clear ambiguity with respect to 5 different meters in question in this case that the Bhola family have in the names of Sh. Surender Bhola(1), Ms. Sumitra Bhola (2) and Ms. Rajni Bhola (2) and with clarify check the dues, if any, in each bill, with exact CA number, Meter number with due date and satisfy themselves first.  Once this is freezed, BSES should explain to the complainant if there are any dues with date with correct meter number and CA number so that there is no ambiguity and the things are transparent.

(ii) BSES, Yamuna Power Ltd. should have better liaison and coordination with the outsourced company/call centre which handles the SMS/information to the customers.  In the current scenario, it is seen that on 08.03.2021, there is a confirmation to complainant having zero bill and on 10.03.2021, the same customer is being asked to clear the dues and again on 11.03.2021, the dues being shown as zero. So, there is a mis-match.  BSES need to clear this ambiguity.

5. The complaint was disposed of with the above recommendations.
