Case brief
What is this about?
Delhi High Court (Navin Chawla & Madhu Jain, JJ.; oral judgment by Navin Chawla, J.), decision dated 14.11.2025, in W.P.(C) 1874/2025 & CM APPLs. 8939-8940/2025, Staff Selection Commission & Anr. v. Seema Saraswat (respondent unrepresented, ex parte). Petitioners challenged CAT Principal Bench Order dated 27.08.2024 in O.A. No. 3334/2024 (Seema Saraswat v. Staff Selection Commission & Anr.), whereby the Tribunal, merely relying on its earlier Order dated 10.05.2024 in O.A. No. 519/2024, directed a fresh medical examination by a new medical board (excluding hospitals that conducted the initial and review examinations) for a Constable (Executive) (Female) candidate declared unfit by the DME Board (22.01.2024 - hyperinflated lung with COPD changes) and the RME Board (30.01.2024 - early small airway obstruction with fibro parenchymal opacities). The Court held the Boards' opinions rested on clinical examination and detailed medical reports that cannot be brushed aside without reasons, disapproved the mechanical disposal, set aside the impugned Order and allowed the petition; no costs; no monetary relief.
