THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4166 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a mandamus directing the second respondent to consider the representation, dated 10.11.2009. The wife of the petitioner, who was appointed as Constable in the services of Border Security Force in 1992, filed the aforesaid representation stating that the petitioner is a psychiatric patient and fickle minded person, as such, she requested the first respondent to retire her husband on medical grounds. It is to be noticed that the petitioner has not submitted any representation before the respondent authorities. However, the petitioner has signed the affidavit filed before this Court. This shows that the petitioner is in a fit condition and therefore, there is no reason for his not submitting any representation to the respondent authorities and the wife of the petitioner, by way of above-mentioned representation, cannot request the respondent authorities for retirement of her husband on medical grounds. If the petitioner feels that he is unfit and such retirement on medical grounds is permissible under the provisions of the Border Security Force Act, 1968 and the Rules made thereunder, it is open to him to submit a representation to the respondent authorities with a request to retire him on medical grounds. If any such representation is filed, it is open to the respondent to consider the same in accordance with law. Subject to the above observation, writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 1st APRIL, 2010. Note: issue c.c. in one week. kvni
