The court granted an exemption and disposed of W.P.(C) 15108/2024 along with CM APPL. 63257/2024, which challenged a Tribunal order.
The Tribunal had directed the re-medical examination of applicants for the position of Constable in the Delhi Police, specifically requiring assessment by a dermatologist to determine functional fitness and compliance with Clause 13.2 of the recruitment advertisement, which prohibits tattoos on the right forearm.
The court found no grounds for the challenge, noting that the Tribunal's order was reasonable and aimed at ensuring compliance with recruitment standards.
It emphasized the necessity of the dermatologist's examination in light of previous judgments regarding similar cases, reinforcing that such assessments are routine and essential for candidate eligibility. Consequently, the petition was dismissed, and the court encouraged adherence to the Tribunal's directives.
