New Delhi: The President of India, Mrs. Pratibha Patil has appointed Justice Mohammad Rafiq as one of the Judges of the Rajasthan High Court. Since 2006 Justice Rafiq was serving as Additional Judge on the same court.
Additional Judges Justice Chatra Ram Jat and Justice Gauri Shankar Sarraf have also been appointed Judges of the Rajasthan High Court by the same Presidential Order.
Born on May 25th, 1960 Justice Rafiq is credited with giving a landmark judgment that restored the rights to all disabled persons. In a case involving a blind person who was denied employment for a lecturer position, Justice Rafiq ruled that state can not discriminate one form of disability over another and all disabled should be treated equal.
