The bench headed by Justice C. Hari Shankar and Justice Amit Sharma observed that «there can be no cavil with the finding of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) that defective colour vision is a defect. As such, the petitioners clearly suffer from a defect which renders them unfit for appointment as constables in the Delhi Police.»
The High Court further held that the standards of medical fitness of candidates in forces, including Delhi Police, have to be stricter and higher than those who apply for civilian posts.
The petitioners had approached the High Court with a writ petition challenging the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal, by which it refused to entertain an application seeking an appointment in Delhi Police.
It was contended through the petitioners' advocate that 'defective colour vision' is not 'colour blindness', hence they should appointed as constables in Delhi Police.
