Iqbal Hasan Rahmani, CGC. ----------- 05. 17.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the Union of India, who has filed counter affidavit placing on record the report of the review medical board. 2. Petitioner was candidate for appointment on the post of Constable(GD) in the Central Reserve Police Force(hereinafter referred to as the CRPF) pursuant to advertisement, Annexure-1 to this application. He appeared in the selection test but was declared medically unfit vide medical unfitness certificate dated 13.3.2010, Annexure-4 with liberty to approach the authorities of the CRPF for review medical examination. In the light of the medical fitness certificate dated 17.3.2010, Annexure-5 petitioner approached the authorities of the CRPF for review medical examination, as according to certificate, Annexure-5 petitioner was neither suffering from defect in vision nor his foot was found flat, although Dr. N.K.Prasad of 7th Battalion, CRPF found him suffering from defective vision in right eye 6/12, besides his foot was also found flat. 3. From the counter affidavit it appears that review medical examination of the petitioner was conducted at Command Hospital, Muzaffarpur on 15.4.2010 and in the opinion of the Review Medical - 2 - Board petitioner suffered neither from defective vision nor his foot was found flat and declared medically fit. From the same report it further appears that petitioner was sent to Hydrabad for further examination of his eyes, as is evident from letter of the DIGP, Group Centre, CRPF, Mokamaghat dated 13.5.2010. In the light of the instructions of the DIGP, Group Centre, CRPF, Mokamaghat petitioner was examined at Hydrabad on 28.5.2010 and his distant vision in right eye was found 6/12 and he was declared medically unfit on account of defective vision. 4. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that when petitioner was declared medically fit by the Review Medical Board on 15.4.2010, there was no occasion for the authorities of the CRPF to refer him to Hydrabad for further medical examination and the report of the Doctors at Hydrabad has been procured by the DIGP to just declare the petitioner medically unfit. 5. Having heard counsel for the parties, I am not able to understand as to why petitioner was referred to Hydrabad when he was declared medically fit by the Review Medical Board on 15.4.2010, accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with direction to the I.G., CRPF, Bihar Sector to consider the entire matter and pass appropriate order in accordance with law, as early as possible, in any case within one month from the date of receipt of this order by him.
