Person With Single Testicle Not Unfit To Serve Indian Navy: Punjab & Haryana High Court
Live LawThe Punjab and Haryana High Court has held that having 'single testicle' is not a disability that would render a candidate unfit for serving the Indian Navy. In reference to an order passed by the Centre declaring the Respondent herein unfit for enrolment in the Navy for the reason that he has a single testicle, a bench comprising Justice G.S. Sandhawalia and Justice Vikas Suri observed, "There is nothing on record to show that the same disability is such of that kind which would come in his way for serving the Indian Navy. The Court was dealing with an appeal preferred by the Union of India against the order of Single Judge directing a fresh medical examination of respondent by constituting a Medical Board to give the benefit of his earlier selection if found medically fit.
