CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Rajesh Bansal, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Arvind Moudgil, Advocate for respondents No.2 and 3. Ms. Anjali Kukkar, Advocate, for Union of India. **** SURYA KANT, J.(Oral) Petitioner is an unmarried girl who was admitted to the Diploma Course in Weight Lifting in Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports at Patiala for the session 2011-12. Her admission was cancelled vide impugned letter dated 18.7.2011 on the basis that she was found “medically unfit (detected pregnancy test positive) during medical examination, due to which it will be difficult for her to cope with the training load of the diploma course”. The aggrieved petitioner has approached this Court, inter-alia, contending that she is an unmarried girl and it appears that the respondents have mixed up her medical report with someone else. She relies upon her medical certificates Annexures P-16, P-17 and P- 18 dated 07.07.2011, 08.07.2011 and 13.07.2011 wherein the Doctors CWP No. 13435 of 2011 [2] have categorically certified that her pregnancy test is 'negative'. The petitioner is ready and willing to undergo another medical test if so required by the respondent authorities. In the light of the overwhelming evidence to conclude that the petitioner's pregnancy test has been found negative, the impugned order dated 18.07.2011 whereby the petitioner's admission in the Diploma Course in Weight Lifting has been cancelled, is quashed and the respondents are directed to allow her to pursue the said diploma course. In case the examination of any semester has taken place, the respondents are directed to take hold the supplementary examination in accordance with the Rules/Regulations to ensure that the career of the petitioner is not adversely affected in any manner. The respondents, however, shall be at liberty to take fresh medical examination(s) of the petitioner at Rajendra Hospital, Government Medical College, Patiala (Punjab), if so and as and when required.
