A CRPF officer (Assistant
Commandant) sustained injury while fighting with naxalites in Chhattisgarh – CRPF

CRPF’s Standing Orders, Senior Time Scale can only be given to those officers
who are medically fit (i.e. in SHAPE-1 medical category) – Officer challenged
the Standing Orders before the Delhi High Court on the ground that the Standing
Orders are discriminatory, unconstitutional, ultra virus, arbitrary, and violative
of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India – It was submitted, on behalf
of the Officer, that denial of Senior Time Scale to the officer because of the
injuries which he sustained during naxalites bomb blast in Chhattisgarh, is
illegal as well as unjustified - Delhi High Court (Division Bench) issued
notice and directed the CRPF as well as the Central Government to file replies
- Lalit Vs. CRPF & Ors., W.P.(C)
