Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, originally recruited as a constable in the CRPF, was wrongfully terminated based on medical grounds, as the Medical Board opined he was fit for the position. The Court directed the respondents to reinstate the appellant but denied back wages for the period he was out of service. The decision emphasized the importance of medical evaluations conducted by qualified boards in employment matters.
