"9. We have today again considered whether the petitioner is entitled to yet another chance and are unable to find any justification for the same. We have already in the order dated 6th July, 2020 observed that fitness for serving requisite duties in the Air Force is a matter of opinion and if in the opinion of the authorities constituted under the Rules of the Air Force the petitioner is unfit, a report of a medical practitioner of another organization which does not intend to recruit the petitioner and which will not be affected by the medical unfitness of the "Priti" hereinafter petitioner, cannot be the basis for interfering with the assessment by the Air Force. It cannot be lost sight of that just as in justice delivery, appeal provisions are provided to eliminate the possibility of human error, so have a sufficient number of opportunities of preferring an appeal and thereafter preferring a review have been provided in the matter of medical examination and just like the decision making before the Courts cannot be indefinite, so can the decision making with respect to medical fitness in the Air Force, cannot be indefinite. There has to be a finality in decision making, as is there in the justice delivery system. It cannot be lost sight of that no mala fides are attributed with respect to any of the medical examinations or to the team of medical professionals conducting the medical examination. It is the medical practitioners of the Air Force and Defence Services, who have themselves undergone the requisite trainings and discharge the functions of the organization, who are best suited to form an opinion as to the medical fitness of the candidates to be recruited and once they have so formed their opinion, there can be no interference therewith, at the mere asking of a rejected/disgruntled candidate.
