The Delhi High Court expressed concerns about the short six-week period given to women candidates for post-pregnancy fitness evaluation in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF). The court emphasized the challenges of postpartum recovery and urged for a more reasonable timeframe, granting relief to a petitioner in a similar situation.
The Supreme Court has directed a fresh medical examination for a civil services candidate rejected in 2014 due to exceeding the prescribed Body Mass Index limit. The court used its special powers to order the rescheduling of the missed test but rejected the plea for direct appointment and seniority benefits, emphasizing the exceptional nature of the case.
