In Brief
Candidates selected for Ranker Sub-Inspector examination in 2011 challenged their compelled participation in a physical efficiency test despite documented medical ailments. The High Court permitted re-testing for those who had informed authorities about their condition at or before the test. The Supreme Court upheld this approach, finding that while the High Court's judgment was reasonable, appellants could approach the competent authority with supporting medical evidence to claim re-testing, provided they had notified authorities of their ailment beforehand. Applications for intervention were dismissed and no cost orders were made.
