The Supreme Court has ordered a cadre review in all Central Armed Police Forces within six months. It emphasized that stagnation in promotions and posts can negatively impact the morale of the forces and must be addressed promptly.
The Delhi High Court ruled that vitiligo is a valid medical reason to reject candidates for recruitment in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF). The court stated that the skin condition, which causes loss of skin color, can affect job duties and is a fair reason for disqualification. This decision came after a petition questioned the medical standards for selection. The judgment supports the CAPF’s right to set rules based on the nature of their work.
