Respondents ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Durga Nand Jha, Advocate For Respondents: Mr.Sarvdeo Singh, C.G.C. ------- 3. 14.3.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Central Government Counsel for the Union of India. The only grievance of the petitioner is that while the Medical Board constituted by the C.R.P.F. declared that he was found to be a case of Visual Acuity, he had approached Dr. Ranjan Kumar Akhauri, an eminent Ophthalmologist of Patna, who certified that his vision is 6/6 in both eyes. Similar report was given by the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, I.G.M.S. Campus, Sheikhpura, Patna and the P.M.C.H. also. On the strength of the same, the petitioner approached the authorities of the C.R.P.F. and by - 2 - letter dated 28.8.2008, he was informed that a Board of eye specialist has been detailed at Composite Hospital, CRPF, Jharodakalan, New Delhi to conduct his Visual Acuity test on 1.9.2008 and 2.9.2008 and was directed to report there, which he did. It is submitted that the petitioner was again after the test on 1.9.2008 declared as having defective distant vision, but it is urged by learned counsel for the petitioner that the three member Medical Board did not consist of eye specialists, rather there was only one eye- specialist and the other two were non- Ophthalmologists which is evident from Annexure-E to the counter affidavit also. Learned counsel for the petitioner, accordingly, submits that the authorities have not complied with their own requirement of the review of the petitioner’s case by a Board of eye specialists and the same may be directed. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, the authorities of the C.R.P.F. are directed to get the petitioner examined by a Board of eye specialists at their Group Centre, Muzaffarpur or alternatively they may consider getting the same done at the Sri - 3 - Krishna Medical College & Hospital, Muzaffarpur within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The authorities of the C.R.P.F. shall abide by the opinion of the said Medical Board. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of in terms of the aforesaid direction.
