Shall you stand to loose a Police Job for not able to attend a Physical Test because of ill health ?
The Answer to this should, ideally, be NO. But, unfortunately, the answer to this is YES.
Illness, however small it may be, it effects the efficiency. Physical Test for obtaining the Police Employment is a stage, where a candidate has to give his 100% performance inasmuch as it is a competitive test. If a candidate is sick, of whatsoever nature, he will not be able to give his 100%. In other words, level playing field between the healthy and sick candidate are different.
However, Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the matter of Commissioner of Delhi Police Vs Uttam Kumar, has rejected the candidature on the ground that the sickness of the candidate was not of such a nature that he could not attend the Physical Test. It seems that more Compassion is required in the Judicial system.
