S.K.M.Haider vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the denial of promotion to S.K.M. Haider for the post of Ticket Collector was justified as he was not declared medically fit in Class B-2 under Para 510 of the Indian Railway Medical Manual (IRMM). The Court emphasized that medical fitness is a prerequisite for promotion in the railway services, and the appellant's subsequent medical evaluations did not alter the initial findings. The Court upheld the decisions of the Central Administrative Tribunal and the High Court, affirming the rejection of the appellant's appeal.
