The Ap Power Generation Corporation Limited v. a Anil Kumar
Case brief
What is this about?
APGENCO writ appeal against Single Judge order directing appointment of Fireman candidate rejected for 'flat foot' - dismissed; order upheld. Regional Medical Board, Tirupati (24.05.2016) fitness opinion cannot be ignored by cherry-picking diagnosis; six years' unimpeded Fireman service cited. R. Venkatesan (Madras HC DB, W.A.No.2199 of 2001) relied on; Nallamalla Nageswaraiah (APHC DB, W.P.No.8594 of 2020) distinguished. Recruitment medical unfitness / flat foot / service law.
What did the court decide?
None to the appellants; the order of the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.33416 of 2016 dated 14.03.2019 is upheld (petitioner's appointment and regularization as Fireman stands); no order as to costs; miscellaneous petitions, if any, stand closed. ¶83
