JUDGMENT & ORDER(ORAL)
Heard Mr. AM Khan, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the
Page No.# 3/5 petitioner and Ms. R Devi, the learned CGC, who appears on behalf of the respondent Nos. 1 to 5. 2. The present writ proceeding is filed challenging the opinion rendered in the Review Medical Examination Report of the Presiding Officer, RME Board, CT/GD- 2025, GC CRPF, Guwahati, wherein it was opined that the petitioner is unfit. 3. The materials on record show that in pursuance to a notice issued for recruitment of Constable (GD) in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and SSF, Rifleman (GD) in the Assam Rifles, and Sepoy in Narcotics Control Bureau Examination-2025, the petitioner participated in the said recruitment process. While carrying out the medical examination, it was found that the petitioner was not fit for appointment as a Constable (GD). The petitioner thereupon requested for a review. The Review Medical Board by the opinion rendered on 27.11.2025 concluded that the petitioner was unfit on the ground that the petitioner had Hypertension. 4.
It is the further case of the petitioner that the petitioner thereupon carried out certain examinations at the Swahid M.R. Sub-Divisional Civil Hospital Pathsala and it is the case of the petitioner that the SDM & HO, SMR Sub- Divisional Civil Hospital Bajali in the case of the petitioner opined on various dates as follow:
1. On 02.12.2025 the petitioner’s BP was 120/80 mmHg
2. On 03.12.2025, the petitioner’s BP was 120/80 mmHg
3. On 04.12.2025, the petitioner’s BP was 120/80 mmHg
5. The above opinions were given on 02.12.2025, 03.12.2025 and 04.12.2025 respectively. It is under such circumstances that the petitioner has approached this Court. 6. This Court has duly heard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the
Page No.# 4/5 parties and has also perused the materials on record. 7. This Court also has taken note of that the petitioner upon obtaining the medical opinion from the Swahid M.R. Sub-Divisional Civil Hospital, Pathsala had not approached the Respondent Authorities by submitting a representation and had directly approached this Court. 8. This Court in exercise of the powers conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India cannot sit on appeal and, more particularly, in respect to varied medical opinions rendered by the Review Medical Board of the Respondent Authorities as well as the Swahid M.R. Sub-Divisional Civil Hospital Pathsala. 9. Under such circumstances, it is not a fit case for entertaining the writ petition. 10. Be that as it may, the petitioner are always at liberty to submit a representation along with the necessary documents before the Review Medical Board of the Respondent Authorities and the Review Medical Board on the basis thereof can very well look into the same. 11. Accordingly the instant writ petition stands disposed of with the following observations and directions: (i). In the present facts and circumstances of the case as observed above, this Court is not inclined to entertain the instant writ petition. (ii).
The non-entertaining of the writ petition shall not preclude the petitioner to submit a representation before the Review Medical Board of the respondents seeking a re-consideration on the basis of the medical opinions available with the petitioner as discussed above. (iii). In the circumstance, any representation is submitted within 10 (ten) days from today, the Review Medical Board of the respondents shall look
Page No.# 5/5 into the same and do the needful in accordance with their guidelines within a period of 60 (sixty) days from the date of receipt of the representation. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
