New Delhi: A man cannot lose weight after being disqualified to join the armed forces in soil soil and then challenge disqualification, the Supreme Court said.
The bench consisting of Judges D y Chandrachud and M R Shah refused to appeal by Devesh Kumar, whose nomination was rejected by the Air Force for a pilot position found weighing 89 kg at the age of 20 years.
At its peak of 191 cm, the Airman standard provides a weight range of 67 to 71 kg, with + – six kg variations.
Advice said that Devesh’s challenge against the rejection was considered by the Air Force Authority, which again refused without bursting him to find out if he fell within the specified limit.
Bench said, “This cannot be permitted.
If someone loses weight after being disqualified because of being overweight, he cannot claim the second chance to reevaluate the weight.” Devesh is a candidate for recruitment as a pilot last year.
He was found medically not feasible because of being overweight and abnormalities in his ECG, mentioned in the primary medical examination report conducted on February 5 this year.
The height of the applicant was found 89 kg as opposed to the weight determined for 191 CMS height and for 20 years, from 67 to 71 kg.
However, the Medical Examination Manual and the Indian Air Force Medical Board in 2010 prescribed variations plus minus 6 kg; Therefore it was concluded that the applicant was overweight.
Devesh has filed a direct petition in the Delhi High Court on the grounds that in an appeal medical examination, even though the applicant’s ECG was carried out but the applicant was not weighed anymore and was declared unworthy.
HC has asked the Air Force to produce a Devesh medical examination record.
Note shows that the applicant, who in a medical examination on February 5 was found with a weight of 89 kg, during a comparative medical examination again weighed on March 1 and was found to have a weight of 85 kg.
The comparative medical council also found abnormalities in the ECG.
But, the applicant claims that he has never been weighed anymore.
HC bench headed by justice Hospital Endlaw said, “It also could not be seen, that the applicant, between February 5 and March 1 reduced its weight from 89 kg to 85 kg.
Now we are almost three months away and only because applicants may be in the last three months Reducing his weight is still further and may have taken it within the allowed limits, it will not give the right to the applicant for recruitment.
“” The Petitioner’s advice argues that the applicant is overweight and has abnormalities in his ECG, he cannot clean the physical standard test ( PST) and physical efficiency test (pet).
But the arguments mentioned above are made without any drug knowledge and.
Without any literature.
If what the Petitioner’s advisor has a dispute must be correct, there will be no medical check after PST / PET.
PST / PET for a short duration of time and not always conclusive to medical conditions and if there are medical mismatches that can be detected in medical examinations only, the same thing will not allow prolonged hard performance, as expected from members of the strength, “HC said and rejected the petition.
