A.P., as illegal, arbitrary and pass Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.GANESWARA RAO NIDUMUKKALA Counsel for the Respondent No.: . The Court made the following : ORDER The petitioner belongs to SC Community and he appeared written examination in Sainik School, Korukonda for admission into VI Class for the academic year 2008-2009. He was qualified in the written examination conducted on 6.1.2008 and he was directed to appear for interview on 5.3.2008 and medical examination on 6.3.2008. On 6.3.2008, the Medical Board consisting of three Army Doctors examined him and found him un-fit because of his ear problem. Questioning the same, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. Learned Standing Counsel for Korukonda Sainik School, on instructions, submits that the petitioner is having ear problem and in prospectus, it is clearly mentioned that the admission of any student will be subject to qualifying in the medical examination. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for Korukonda Sainik School. On perusal of the medical certificate dated 6th March, 2008 issued by the Medical Board consisting of three Army Doctors, wherein it is clearly mentioned as “ ENT unfit”. The admission into Korukonda Sainik School is for the purpose of training children in such a way, so that in future they can be appointed as Officers in the Army. When a person with some sort of problem such as the one which is mentioned by the Medical Board in the case on hand, it is not desirable that such students shall also be taken as students and thereafter trained as personnel in the Army. Hence, the rejection of the admission of the petitioner in to Korukonda Sainik School, in my considered view, is justified and I see no merits in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. __________ 22-12-2008 rkk
