The Supreme Court admitted an appeal by a UP Police constable candidate rejected by the departmental medical board for alleged squint, despite two independent expert opinions from GSVM Medical College and UHM District Hospital certifying normal vision. The ruling will clarify whether expert medical evidence from reputable institutions can override a departmental board's adverse finding in recruitment.

The CAT Principal Bench held that candidates seeking reservation under the PwD quota must strictly meet the exact locomotor disability specifications (One Arm/One Leg) notified in the recruitment advertisement; a general medical board certification for a different disability category (both legs affected) does not qualify the candidate for the reserved post.

Chhattisgarh High Court directs authorities to consider pending representation for OBC candidate in vacant Assistant Professor post, affirming obligation to fill reserved quotas expeditiously.
