UNION OF INDIA vs SATYA PRAKASH VASISHT

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision that colour blindness was not a disqualification for the post of Sub-Inspector (Executive) in the Delhi Police Service, as per the rules applicable at the time. The Court clarified that the requirement to be 'free from colour blindness' applied only to drivers and traffic staff, not to Sub-Inspectors. Consequently, the Court directed the Union of India to appoint the respondent with all consequential benefits, affirming the Tribunal's ruling.
