First physically challenged person to undergo ability test at an HC

Dr (Hon) Ritesh Sinha (40) of Karnal, Haryana who completed degrees like BSc, PGDCA, CIC & MIT despite suffering from spastic cerebral palsy got selected for the post of a clerk (under reserved category for physically challenged) at the District and Sessions Court, Karnal on Oct 23, 2010 and joined work five days later. Three months later however he was served a termination order on Feb 5, 2011. He approached the High Court (HC) of Punjab and Haryana with a writ petition challenging the termination order. During the course of litigation, the court, for the first time, ordered a physical test of his ability to perform office duty at the court premises, which was conducted on Oct 30, 2012. Satisfied with the outcome, the court quashed his termination order, entitling him to “all consequential benefits” on August 2, 2013.

My Trike

      Throughout my school life, my parents had to take me to school and other places. I was entirely dependent on them for all my movements. After I did my Xth, it struck on me to make this trike. After two years of research and with very little expertise available in a small place like karnal, I got modifications done on a normal cycle which I could foot drive and also balance myself. Once this trike was made, it was as if I had new feet. I was independent, and this was wonderful !!!!

I did my B.Sc on my Trike going to college and classes on it.

I used to go to Kunjpura village (which is 12 km from my home) for NSS camp where I used to teach in literacy campaign

I used to travel via NH1 - a distance of 12 km when it was 2 lanes only

I used to go to CSSRI which is 10 km from my home by crossing railway line`

I used this to go to NBAGR, Makrampur which is 10 km from my home to attend national science day

I used to drive my  Trike to Uchani sub station of CCSHAU which is 10 km from my home

In short, it gave me my wings. And i was glad this was my own innovation  !!!
