Staff Selection Commission v. Shivanshu

1. The respondent in this case had applied for recruitment as Constable in the Delhi Police. He was subjected to a medical examination.

2. In the Detailed Medical Examination conducted on 22 January 2024, he was diagnosed as suffering from haemorrhoids and knock knee.

3. A Review Medical Examination was conducted a mere five days thereafter, and it was opined, quite obviously, that the W.P.(C) 1830/2025 haemorrhoids was persisting. No knock knee was found.

4. We fail to understand, as to how, in five days, haemorrhoids could vanish.

5. The respondent contended that he had thereafter undertaken surgery and haemorrhoids had been cured.

6. In that view of the matter, as there is no other physical disability in the respondent, we find no reason to interfere with the judgment of Central Administrative Tribunal which directs that he be re-examined whether the haemorrhoids persists.

7. Nonetheless, we make it clear that the respondent would be bound by the decision of the fresh medical examination and would not be entitled to any further chance.

8. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of with the aforesaid clarification.
