Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing re-tests for candidates who informed about their ailments prior to the physical efficiency test, as per the relevant circular. The Court clarified that candidates who did not inform about their ailments cannot claim the benefit of re-tests. The judgment emphasized the need for candidates to communicate their health issues timely to avoid being compelled to participate in tests despite physical incapacity. The appeals were disposed of without further orders, affirming the High Court's ruling.
