Petitioner was applicant for the post of Constable G.D.(Male) to be recruited by the Central Reserve Police Force (for short CRPF). It is the case of the petitioner that he was called in for physical test which was cleared by him whereafter he was subjected to written test. The petitioner was declared successful thereat. As per the procedure of selection, he was thereafter subjected to medical fitness test wherein he was found unfit as the Board held him suffering from varicose veins and Hypertension. The said document is Annexure-2. Petitioner was required to file appeal thereagainst. Accordingly, he got himself again medically examined by doctor at Sadar Hospital, Samastipur who opined that the findings of the Medical Board that he was suffering from varicose veins and Hypertension appeared to be an error of judgment. He was thus found medically fit. The document relating thereto is Annexure-3. 2 Accordingly, he preferred appeal whereafter he was permitted to appear before the Review Medical Board. Petitioner, accordingly, appeared on 4.3.2011 before the Review Medical Board. The Review Medical Board again found him unfit. Petitioner thereafter sought necessary information invoking provisions contained in Right to Information Act. The respondents replied thereto wherein it was disclosed that although the Review Medical Board found him not suffering from varicose veins but he was found Hypertensive and accordingly, again held medically unfit. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted with reference to the Information Booklet issued by the CRPF that the candidates having knock knee, flat foot, varicose vein or squint in eyes were not held suitable for the job. However, the provisions contained in 3(b) of the Brochure also declare that the candidates who do not posses good mental and bodily health and are not free from any physical defect likely to interfere with efficient performance of the duties shall also be ineligible. It is submitted that the petitioner may be given an opportunity to highlight the aforesaid fact by filing appropriate representation before the respondent Inspector General, CRPF, Digha Patna (respondent No. 2) who may be directed to consider and dispose of the said representation 3 in accordance with law. It is submitted that in similar facts/situation, this Court in C.W.J.C. No.10704 of 2011 (Rajiv Ranjan Roy versus the D.G. C.R.P.F. & Ors) had disposed of the matter in the aforesaid terms. Learned Central Government Counsel, on the other hand, submits that there is no provision of further appeal or review against the findings of the Review Medical Board.
