Case brief
What is this about?
W.P.(C) 5759/2025, High Court of Delhi, decided 05.05.2025 by Navin Chawla, J. (author, oral) with Dharmesh Sharma, J. Petitioners: Staff Selection Commission & Anr. through CGSC Rohan Jaitley with Dev Pratap Shahi, Varun Pratap Singh and Yogya Bhatia; Respondent: Shruti Mishra through Setu Niket and Esha Mazumdar. Challenge to CAT Principal Bench order dated 09.08.2024 in O.A. No. 3148/2024 directing fresh/re-medical examination after conflicting 'unfit' findings — DME 22.01.2024 (hyper pigmentation, left cheek/behind left ear) and RME 30.01.2024 ('Nevus of Ota'); Lok Nayak Hospital report 31.01.2024 found the respondent 'fit'. Court held the RME was of doubtful validity and inconsistent with the DME, found no merit in the plea that Tribunal interference was impermissible, dismissed the petition, and left intact the Tribunal's directions for an independent medical board examination with appointment and notional consequential benefits upon a 'fit' finding.
