The Inspector General of Police, Central Reserve Police Force, Patna. 4. The Deputy Inspector General of Police Group Centre, Central Reserve Police Force, Mokama Ghat, Patna. 5. The Chief Medical Officer (S.G.) Medical Member, Recruitment Board of Muzaffarpur. --------Respondents. 02 20.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Central Government Counsel. Petitioner was an applicant to the post of Constable GD (Male) in Central Reserve Police Force (for short ‘CRPF’) pursuant to the advertisement. It is the case of the petitioner that he cleared the physical eligibility test followed by written test whereafter he was subjected to medical fitness test. At the medical fitness test he was found unfit as the doctor attending on him found the petitioner hypertensive. The aforesaid document is Annexure-2. Petitioner immediately got himself medically examined by the Chief Medical Officer, Nawada whereafter it was found that opinion of the Medical Board was an error of judgment. The said document has been enclosed as Annexure-3. Armed with the aforesaid certificate, the petitioner filed appeal for subjecting him to Review Medical Board. The authorities of the CRPF, by a communication dated 27.02.2011 (Annexure-4), rejected the appeal of the petitioner on the ground that signature of the 2 candidate has not been attested in form-‘C’. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that non attestation may be a bonafide error in the medical fitness certificate issued by the Chief Medical Officer but nonetheless the authorities on this count alone may not be justified in refusing to consider his appeal and subjecting him to Review Medical Board. It is contended that the petitioner is ready and willing to obtain a certificate from the said doctor containing attestation of his signature and to provide the same to the appellant authority if it is permitted whereafter the authority should subject him to Review Medical Board. Learned counsel for the respondent states that if the petitioner is ready and willing to produce the certificate issued by the said doctor (Annexure-3) in appropriate format containing attestation of his signature then the authorities may take appropriate decision on the appeal preferred by the petitioner. Having heard the parties and on going through the materials on record, this Court is satisfied that the present application be disposed of in the following manner:- Let petitioner obtain a fresh medical fitness certificate from Civil Assistant Surgeon, Sadar Hospital, Nawada containing attestation of the signature of the petitioner and produce the same before the respondent Deputy Inspector General of Police, Group Centre, Central Reserve Police Force, Mokama Ghat, Patna, together with a copy of the present order within a period of 04 weeks whereafter the said authority, if satisfied with the aforesaid 3 certificate, will arrange Review Medical Board of the petitioner as quickly as possible and thereafter take appropriate decision/action in accordance with law.
