Nand Kishore Mishra vs U.O.I. And Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the denial of Short Service Commission to the appellant, Nand Kishore Mishra, based on his medical classification SHAPE-II due to an amputation injury sustained while on duty, was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the eligibility criteria in the Notification dated January 19, 2007, allowed for exceptions for candidates with disabilities resulting from active service. The Court held that the appellant's case should have been considered under the provisions allowing for medical category up to SHAPE-II, thus directing the authorities to grant him the commission.
