Opinion Of Dermatologist Cannot Be Ignored', Delhi High Court Directs Fresh Examination Of Candidate By Review Medical Board

The Delhi High Court directed a fresh medical examination of a candidate by a review medical board, emphasizing that the opinion of a dermatologist cannot be ignored. The case involved a candidate who was declared medically unfit for a government job due to a skin condition. The court found that the initial medical board had not adequately considered the dermatologist’s opinion, which stated that the condition was not disqualifying. Justice Subramonium Prasad ordered a re-examination to ensure a fair assessment of the candidate’s medical fitness. This ruling highlights the importance of considering expert medical opinions in employment decisions and ensuring that candidates are evaluated fairly.
