J&K High Court: Birthmark Not a Valid Reason to Reject CAPF Candidate
J&K High Court: Birthmark Not a Valid Reason to Reject CAPF Candidate

The Jammu & Kashmir & Ladakh High Court set aside the disqualification of Anish Rajulia from the CAPF recruitment process due to a “Port Wine Stain”, a birthmark on the right side of his face. 

Rajulia had cleared the written, PST, PET exams, and NCC credentials, but both the Detailed and Review Medical Boards flagged his birthmark without explaining how it impaired his ability to serve. 

The Court held that per the 2021 Revised Uniform Guidelines, minor skin anomalies are not disqualifying unless they pose functional limitations. The matter was remanded for a fresh medical evaluation within eight weeks.  (Anish Rajulia Vs Union of India)
