GUJARAT HC: COLOUR BLINDNESS NOT GROUND TO DENY APPOINTMENT TO POST OF POLICE CONSTABLE
The Gujarat High Court on 6th of July, 2020 ruled that candidates could not be sidelined for appointment to the Lok Rakshak Dal (post of armed/unarmed police constable), as per their merit with all consequential benefits, on the ground of their medical incapacity of colour blindness. The Single Judge noted that colour blindness is not provided as a disqualification to the post to any Class III posts, and indisputably the post of Lok Rakshak.
