Date of Decision: 11th November, 2024
ASHISH .....Petitioner
Through: Ms. Nisha Dhaka, Advocate.

Sharbanta Sarkar, SSB.
JUDGMENT
1. Petitioner seeks initiation of contempt against respondent for noncompliance of order dated 24.07.2024 passed in W.P (C) No. 10108/2024.
2. Petitioner was aspiring to join Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) as a Head Constable (Communication) and the above said writ petition was disposed of with the direction to respondent to constitute another Medical Board and it was also directed that, in case, the petitioner was found medically fit to join SSB, he would be appointed as a Head Constable (Communication) within six weeks from the date he was declared medically fit.
3. According to the averments made in the contempt petition, petitioner claims that he appeared before the Review Medical Board and was even declared fit but despite that he has not been offered any appointment.
4. Learned counsel for respondent appears on advance notice and has CONT.CAS(C) 1771/2024 2 rather informed that when the Review Medical Board examined the petitioner on 03.09.2024, they again declared him unfit on account of his being suffering from ‘Hypertension’.
5. A copy of report of such Review Medical Board has also been shown to the Court during the course of the arguments and a copy, thereof, has also been supplied to learned counsel for petitioner.
6. Obviously since the petitioner was, again, found unfit, there was no question of his being offered any appointment.
7. Be that as it may, in view of the above said revelation of the fact by the learned counsel for the respondent, the present contempt petition does not survive any further.
8. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
9. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to take steps as permissible under law in case he feels aggrieved by the report given by Review Medical Board on 03.09.2024.
