Direct the Respondents to allow the Petitioner to participate in the Documents Verification to be conducted; and/or c.

Direct the Respondents to subject the final result which may be declared to the outcome of the present petition; and/or."
4. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that the respondent No.1
initially conducted detailed Medical Examination of the petitioner and
declared him unfit on the ground of Scar Mark (about 9.5 x 1.5 cm) present
over Right Upper Chest; Supplementary nipple over (B/L) Chest and a Scar
Mark (about 10 x 7 cm) present over light thigh (medical aspect) and
leucodema of glans penis. Thereafter, the Review Medical Board declared
the petitioner as unfit on two out of four grounds (Supernumerary nipple
present; Vetilago of glans penis) without considering the report of Sacred
Heart Hospital and without taking into consideration any report from any
other hospital. Hence, the present petition has been filed.
5. Notice issued.
6. Learned counsel for respondents accepts notice and on instructions
submits that there is no merit in the contention of the petitioner because after
considering the report from Sacred Heart Hospital, the petitioner was
declared unfit for the selection process by the Review Medical Board.
7. However, without going into the controversy, we hereby direct the
Incharge, RR Hospital, New Delhi to constitute a fresh Medical Board to re-
conduct the medical test of petitioner within one week from today. The date
of test shall be conveyed to petitioner in advance and the petitioner is
directed to appear before the said Medical Board.
8. It is made clear that if the petitioner is declared medically fit by the
aforesaid medical board, he shall be allowed to join the further selection
process for the post in question and in case he is declared unfit, no further
opportunity shall be granted to him and the report of the aforesaid Medical
Board shall be considered as final, since the same has been admitted by the
petitioner.
9. With the aforesaid directions, the present petition stands disposed of.
10. Pending application also stands disposed of.
Copy of this order be given dasti under signatures of Court Master.
