AFCAT 2 2016 Question Paper LEAKED ??

OTA Cadet Declared Permanently Unfit To Serve

OTA Cadet Declared Permanently Unfit To Serve

The petitioner had applied for permanent commission in the army and he was called for an interview before the Service Selection Board (SSB) for selection to the technical graduate course in October 2013.

He was called for medical examination to the military hospital but was found to be medically unfit. He filed an appeal against the order but the medical board rejected his plea on the same ground.

 

He again applied for short service commission in the army and was recommended for selection for pre-commission training at the Officers Training Academy in Chennai.

The man was called for medical examination at the military hospital at Bhopal and was found medically fit for the SSC course.

The petitioner claimed before the high court that he was performing all his task during the course and later in 2015, the authorities found him medically unfit to serve the army.

Army service requires the “highest degree” of physical fitness, the Delhi High Court has held while dismissing a petition filed by a man who was declared permanently unfit to serve in the force. A bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and V K Rao agreed with the contentions of the Centre that defect in petitioner’s right hand index finger, which is the trigger finger, would adversely affect his ability to effectively use weapons.

The court rejected the petition of the man who had challenged the order declaring him to be permanently unfit to serve in the army and had also sought a direction to the authorities to allow him to continue with his pre-commission training in Chennai as part of an army course which he had joined in April 2015.

“There can be no doubt that army service requires the highest degree of physical fitness. There is substance in the contention of the respondents (the Centre and others) that the defect in the right index finger, which is the trigger finger, (congenital absence of middle and distal phalanx of right hand index finger) would adversely affect the ability of the petitioner to effectively use weapons,” the bench noted in its verdict.

“The counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents rightly submitted that the army personnel are required to use arms during armed conflicts irrespective of whether they render service in the infantry or artillery wings or whether they are in the technical wing or the medical wing of the army,” it said.

The court also observed that the petitioner has “apparently” obtained admission for the pre-commission training by misrepresenting the fact about his earlier disqualification in medical examination for his appointment in the armed force.

“The petitioner having obtained admission suppressing earlier medical disqualification, and misleading the authorities to believe that he had never been medically disqualified in the past, his appointment by suppression is liable to be cancelled,” the bench said.

It also said it is not for the court to decide the factual issue as to whether a person with such a medical condition is fit to perform duty in the army.

THE FIRST trained paediatric nephrologist of the armed forces, Major Gen Madhuri Kanitkar, has returned to her alma mater Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) as its first woman Dean.
“Being part of the AFMC has taught me a lot. Now, it is time to give back to my alma mater,” said Kanitkar, who was Deputy Director General Armed Forces (Planning and Training), New Delhi, in her previous posting.

dean 759

She strongly feels there is a need for more colleges like AFMC that can produce doctors and soldiers. “Health care requires disciplined caregivers. Every medical college produces doctors, but here students are trained for three noble professions — soldier, doctor and teacher,” said Kanitkar.
The AFMC sends a minimum of 100 doctors to the armed forces every year. “But there is a requirement for 200-250 such doctors. So, we have proposed increasing the number of undergraduate seats at AFMC from 130 to 150. For every post in the armed forces, there are so many applications. So why are our doctors going away to other countries or looking for better opportunities? We need to look at ways to expand the pool of well-trained doctors to join the three services.”

Kanitkar added that while she has held several prestigious appointments, coming back to the AFMC is like “adding life to years and years to life”. “There is a great team here and we will focus on ways to stimulate research among students. Assessment drives learning but we will also train our doctors with skills that are not part of the curriculum—like communication skills — and ensure they are not stressed out. We must take a relook at both parenting and teaching techniques. Communication channels need to be kept open,” she said.
Asked about her priorities, she said: “Getting recognition for Diploma in Pharmacy course is a priority. Also, short term training courses for medical officers in sports medicine will commence from April.”

Kanitkar admitted that there were three occasions when she wanted to give it all up. “One is torn between duties and responsibilities as a mother, doctor, army wife and teacher. But my husband, Lt Gen Rajiv Kanitkar, always told me never to give up. Th
at’s the spirit I want to inculcate in my students here.”
