Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of Ajay Kumar's services as a constable in the CRPF was unjustified as the Medical Board opined he was fit for the job despite previous findings. The Court directed the respondents to reinstate the appellant immediately, while clarifying that he would not be entitled to back wages for the period he was out of service. This decision reinforces the principle that medical evaluations by competent authorities must be respected in employment matters.
