IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.23371 of 2011 Date of decision : 15.12.2011 Partap Singh ....Petitioner Versus Union of India and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr. R.K.Arya, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioner prays that he be given the employment as a constable with the respondents and necessary direction to this effect be issued. The petitioner, who participated in the selection process, was found medically unfit having problem of : i) knock knees & ii) flat feet. He was referred to the civil hospital and the doctor opined as follows :- “1) Knock knees - Clearly and radiologically no endorse of knock knees. 2) Flat feet : - No endorse of having flat feet.” On the basis of this learned counsel for the petitioner contends that since he was not opined medical unfit by the doctor at civil hospital, he should be considered fit. However, I am not inclined C.W.P.No.23371 of 2011 -2- to accept the prayer of the petitioner, as according to the rules, the petitioner was also referred to the Review Medical Board, who examined the petitioner afresh and gave the following report :- “Brief Review Medical Examination & Finding thereof. i) Intermalleolar distance 5.5 cm. ii) Foot arches 2 cm B/L iii) Final Opinion a) FIT : NA b) UNFIT on account of knock knee.” The uniformed forces such like the respondents in which the petitioner seeks employment are bound by their own medical standards which are to be established by their own doctors and the board constituted for the said purpose, more so when it is prescribed that the decision of the Review Medical Board will be final and no further appeal would be entertained against the decision of the Board. In the opinion of the Court the sanctity has to be accorded to the process unless some mala fides are shown. But in this case no such mala fides being visible, I am of the opinion that the decision of the respondents declaring the petitioner medically unfit cannot be questioned successfully before this Court. Dismissed. 15.12.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
