Pursuant to the medical norms issued by this Court,

¶32

a disability certificate was issued to the petitioner. However, it is evident from the said certificate that the norms prescribed by this Court have not been substantially complied with. Accordingly, this Court deems it appropriate to direct the petitioner to appear before the Superintendent, Medical Board, Sri.C.V.Raman General Hospital (Indiranagar), on 20.07.2026 at 10:30 a.m., without fail, for fixing a date for examination by the Medical Disability Board, Sri.C.V.Raman General Hospital (Indiranagar).

¶35
