If you are medically fit then you can challenge this decisison.

The cancellation of your appointment seems to be for any extraneous reasons.

If the new job is not physically demanding then your regular fitness is enough to make you eligible for this job.

Yesdo challenge the cancellation in writ petition before the high court.

Hi

It is highly illegal and arbitrary on the part of the Government PSU to withdraw their appointment letter in the very last minute citing health grounds that too when their appointment letter clearly mentions that you have been found medically fit by the panel and all the more after they asking you to resign from your current organisation and provide relieving orders from your current organisation.

It is evident from your query that Civil Service rules (Central/State) has been grossly violated and abused by the appointing authority.

You can approach the Administrative Tribunal/ High court (Depending on the nature of PSU).

a) Orders for cancellation of revocation of cancellation letter and

b) Orders for commencement of employment (joining of service) effective 13th Friday with full pay, seniority etc and

c) Also claim compensation for undue stress caused to you

Hope this information is useful.

Did you receive any official communication that your candidature for employment is rejected due to your medical fitness?

Did you visit the office on the date of appointment and receive any communication in writing?

If yes, whether you have confirmed the information that why you have been suddenly declared medically unfit, when and for what reason.

Did you make any representation with the office management about this an got clarified the details as to why this decision was thrust on you.

Did you make any representation to the management i writing about this and made a request to permit or give you another chance to prove your medical fitness?

What was the response by the authorities for your written representation?

Did you consult a lawyer in the local who practices in service or labor law about this ?

You may give a gist of all the actions taken by you in this regard on the above lines or whatever you have initiated so far so that further advise can be given to proceed legally on this issue.

I was declared medically unfit on the ground partial defective color vision.But the medical certificate on what basis they have cancelled appointment seems to be fake ,because it does not shows date of certificate/ medical examination anywhere.Also the printed name of recruitment advertisement no is also wrongly mentioned.

Now they are saying that submit your written acceptance of cancellation of appointment,though it was communicated at the last moment.and appeal for remedical test in prescribed format .

What should I do ?

If the medical report what they rely upon appears to be biased or intentional or fake or fabricated, then you should know the facts of the test that has been conducted on you.

You can even consult a expert doctor on this and obtain a certificate to this effect simultaneously to challenge the version of the authorities.

If all your attempts to the authorities to consider your candidature fails then you may resort to legal action by filing a writ petition before high court for the relief of ranting employment to you as per the tests and interviews conducted so far and also may plead that you are ready and willing to undergo any specialised medical examination once again if the authorities have ignored your such request.
