ORDER
06.04.2026
1. Mr. Vishal Sharma, learned DSGI, has produced the requisite record.
Initially during the detailed medical examination, the appellant was declared unfit for the post of Constable (General Duty) on account of Myopia, squint in right eye and knock knees. Subsequently, during the review medical examination, the appellant was again declared unfit solely on account of squint in right eye.
2. The appellant has produced the Out Patient Card dated 08.11.2024 issued by Government Medical College Hospital, Jammu, which indicates that there is no evidence of squint.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the rejection of the appellant on the ground of alleged squint in the right eye is stigmatic in nature and would affect future prospects of employment.
4. In view of the aforesaid and considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, we direct the respondents to conduct a fresh medical examination of the appellant by constituting a Medical Board, associating an Ophthalmologist from AIIMS, Vijaypur within 10 days from today. The appellant shall appear before the Board for examination, and thereafter, the respondents shall file a detailed status report on or before the next date of hearing.
5. List the matter on 05.05.2026.
6. A copy of this order be provided to Mr. Vishal Sharma, DSGI and Director AIIMS Vijaypur, Jammu for compliance.
