Delhi High Court
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has recently directed Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to medically examine afresh a woman weightlifter. She had applied for a job as a head constable under the sports quota but was rejected for having a tattoo on her right forearm. The woman weightlifter had challenged her rejection.
The Division Bench comprising Justice Suresh Kumar Kait and Mini Pushkarna, considering the fact that the tattoo has been removed, directed the respondents to constitute a medical board and get her examined afresh.
