HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITON No.26054 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Assistant Sub-Inspector in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). At present, he is posted in Singareni Collieries Limited, Singareni, Mandamarri area, Adilabad District. He appeared for the examination, conducted for the promotion to the post of Sub-Inspector, and in the written test, he secured qualifying marks. The Assistant Sub-Inspectors, who cleared the written examination, are subjected to physical examination by the competent Medical Board. The Deputy Commandant, CISF Unit, NPCL, Visakhapatnam, where the petitioner was working in the year 2010, categorised the petitioner in Shape-II on the state of health, which disabled him from being promoted. 2. The petitioner states that he has been subjected to medical and physical examination by the Medical Superintendent, Singareni Collieries Company Limited and he was categorized as Shape-I. On this basis, he seeks directions to the respondents to promote him to the post of Sub-Inspector. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Standing Counsel for the Central Government. 4. The petitioner has cleared the written test for promotion to the post of Sub-Inspector. However, his physical condition was found to be not up to the mark in the year 2010. The periodical review of the physical fitness is to be undertaken. 5. The petitioner, no doubt, was certified to be of Shape-I category by the Medical Officer of the Singareni Collieries Limited. That, however, does not accord with the procedure prescribed by the CISF. It is only the Standing Medical Board of CISF that has to examine and certify the physical fitness of the petitioner. 6. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to arrange for verification of the physical fitness of the petitioner for being promoted to the post of Sub-Inspector as and when it falls due for the year 2011 and take further steps in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J September 19, 2011. KTL
