ORDERRamesh Ranganathan, J.1. Yet another case where a person infected with HIV complains of inherent prejudice against him, in matters of promotion to higher echelons of service, though he was found to be no less meritorious than those who had been promoted. As is evident from the facts stated hereinafter, the prejudice, against those unfortunately infected with this dreaded disease, is prevalent even among the educated sections of society. This prejudice is more often than not subconscious, the fear of the unknown. While the fear which existed earlier, of the disease spreading by mere proximity, is slowly giving way, the deep and underlying prejudice against the HIV infected continues to thrive, even in the general perception of persons holding high office, regarding their inability to discharge the onerous duties which senior officers of the Armed forces are required to perform. This underlying prejudice is, more often, not explicit and can only be inferred from surrounding circumst...
