Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, exercising its jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution of India, directed the respondents to reschedule the re-medical examination for the petitioner, who was previously declared 'temporarily unfit' but missed the scheduled re-examination in 2015. The Court rejected the petitioner's request for allocation of service and consequential benefits, emphasizing that he had overlooked the opportunity for re-examination. The decision aligns with the precedent set in the case of Mr. K. Rajashekhara Reddy, where similar relief was granted due to missed medical examinations.
