IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.12723 of 2011 Date of decision : 13.10.2011 Kuldeep Singh ....Petitioner Versus Union of India and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Paramjit Singh Thiara, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioner, who faced the selection process for appointment of a Constable could not met the prescribed medical standards. He was found to be suffering from hypertension. D'hors the earlier controversy pertaining to variables in the medical reports, the fact remains that the petitioner had approached this Court by way of CWP No.10185 of 2010 which was disposed of on 8.3.2010 with a direction that he would be got examined by a Medical Board which would review the case of the petitioner. Pursuant to the aforesaid directions the petitioner's case was reviewed and he was found to be unfit due to hypertension and being less in height by 0.1 cm. That being the decision of the Board even if the prayer of C.W.P.No.12723 of 2011 -2- the petitioner regarding relaxation in height is granted considering the fact that he is a ward of a BSF employee and the instructions of the respondents say so, yet the opinion of the Medical Board regarding his being unfit on account of hypertension still stares him in the face. Learned counsel for the petitioner then contends that subsequent to the examination by the Board he has got himself examined again from the GMSH, Sector 16, Chandigarh who have found him to be normal. Learned counsel for the petitioner further contends that this subsequent certificate be taken into consideration to upset the opinion of the Medical Board holding him unfit. On due consideration of the matter, I am of the opinion that pursuant to the directions of this Court the petitioner has been examined by a Board, which has found him unfit on account of his having hypertension. There is indeed a variant in the shape of another medical opinion by doctors of GMSH, Sector 16, according to which the petitioner is having a normal blood pressure. Without commenting upon the veracity of, and the merits of such an exercise which has been undertaken by the petitioner at his own level, I am of the opinion that the petition deserves dismissal as the petitioner does not have a legally sustainable case in his favour in view of the opinion of the Medical Board constituted to examine the petitioner pursuant to the order of this Court. It is, however, for the respondents to look into the entire material which has been placed on record in the instant writ petition, and if they so desire and deem fit they may take an appropriate decision. C.W.P.No.12723 of 2011 -3- Petition dismissed. 13.10.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
