At about 1300 hrs on 10th July 2000, he was standing very close to the edge of road formation to- wards valley side, supervising the dozer operation at a loca- tion having treacherous and rocky mass with large height of cut. Suddenly, a big boulder from hiltop started rolling down with huge ddbris towards the dozer and compressor de- ployed at work. Overseer Mohan Singh with his watchful eyes, immediately raised an alarm and instructed the dozer and compressor operators to move out to a safer place.

APPENDIX II

REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES

3. The candidate's height will be measured as follows :— He will remove his shoes and be placed against the standard with his feet together and the weight thrown on the heels and not on the toes or other sides of the feet. He will stand erect, without rigidity and with the heels, calves, buttocks and shoulders touching the standard; the chin will be depressed to bring the vertex of the head-level under the horizontal bar and the height will be recorded in centimetres and parts of a centimetre to halves.

[These regulations are published for the convenience of candidates and in order to enable them to ascertain the prob- ability of their coming upto the required physical standard. The regulations are also intended to provide guidelines to the medical examiners and a candidate who does not satisfy the minimum requirements prescribed in the regulations cannot be declared fit by the medical examiners However, while holding that a candidate is not fit according to the norms laid down in these regulations, it would be permissi- ble for a Medical Board to recommend to the Government of India for reasons specifically recorded in writing that he may be admitted to service without disadvantage to Government.

2(a) It should, however, be clearly understood that the Government of India reserve to themselves, absolute discre- tion to reject or accept any candidate after considering the report of the Medical Board For the disabled ex-Defence Services Personnel standards will be relaxed consistent with the requirements of the posts.

• 4. The candidate's chest will be measured as follows :— He will be made to stand erect with his feet together and to raise his arms over his hand, The tape will be so adjusted round the chest that its upper edge touches the inferior angles of the shoulder blades behind and lies in the same horizontal plane when the tape is taken round the chest. The arms will than be low- ered to hang losely by the side and care will be taken that the shoulders are not thrown upwards or back- wards so as to displace the tape. The candidate will then be directed to take a deep inspiration several times and the maximum expansion of the chest will be carefully noted and the minimum and maximum will then be recorded in the centimetres thus 84— 89, 86—93.5 etc. In according the measurement's fractions of less than half a centimetre should not be noted.

N.B.—The height and chest of the candidate should be

measured twice before coming to a final decision.

5. The candidate will also be weighted and his weight recorded in Kilogram; fraction of half a Kilogram should not be noted.

2(b) The medical examination shall be conducted in two parts, i.e. Part I which shall consist of the entire medical examination which the medical board may prescribe for a ca ndidate. except the Radiographic Examination of the chest (X-ray test) and Part II which shall consist of Radiographic Examination (X-ray test of the chest). The Part II shall be conducted only in respect of the candidates who have been declared finally successful on the basis of the examination. ]

6. The candidate's eye-sight will be tested in accord- ance with the following rules. The result of each test will be recorded.

1. To be passed as fit for appointment a candidate must be in good mental and bodily health and free from any physical defect likely to interfere with the effi- cient performance of the duties of his appointment.

(i) General:—The candidate's eye will be submit- ted to a general examination directed to the de- tection of any disease or abnormality The can- didate will be rejected if he suffers from any squint or morbid conditions of eyes, eyelids or continuous structure of such a sort as to render or are likely at a future date to render him unfit for service.

2. In the matter of the correlation of age. height and chest girth of candidates of Indian (including Anv.lo- Indian) race, it is left to the \ L J i oI BoirJ to -iv whatever correlation figures ure considered most s t-438 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 26, 2001 (JYAISTHA 5, 1923) [P\KT I—SLC 1 (li) Visual Acquity —The examination for deter- mining the acutcness of vision includes two tests. one of the distant, the other for near vision Each eye will be examined separately.

There shall be no limit for minimum naked eye vision but the naked eye vision of the candidate shall however, be re- corded by the Medical Board or other medical authority in every case as it will furnish the basic information in regard to the condition of the eye

The standard for distant and near vision with or without glasses shall be as follows —

Note (2)—Fundus-Examination : Wherever possible fundus examination will be earned out at the discretion of the Medical Board and result re corded.

Note . (3)—Colour vision : (i) The testing of colour vision shall be essential.

(ii) Colour perception should be graded into a higher and a lower grade depending upon the size of the aperture in the lantern as described in the table below :—

Higher Grade of Colour Perception

4.9 metres 1 3 mm 5 Sec For the post of Geologist (Jr) and Assistant Geologist concerning Geological Survey of India and Junior Hvdrogeologist and Asstt. Hydrogeologist concerning Cen- tral Ground Water Board, the medical standard in regard to colour perception and all other tests relating to eyes will be of high order.

(iii) Satisfactory colour vision constitutes recognition with ease and without hesitation of signal red. signal green and white colours, The use of Tshihara's plates, shown in good light and a suitable lantern like edrige green shall be consid- ered quite dependable for testing colour vision while either of the two tests may ordinarily be considered sufficient, in respect of the services concerned with road, rail and air traf- fic, it is essential to carry out the lantern test. In doubtful cases where a candidate fails to qualify when tested by only one of the tests both the tests should be employed.

Note (4) . Field of vision—The field of vision shall be tested by the confrontation method. Where such test, gives unsatisfactory or doubtful result the field of vision should be determined on the perimeter.

Note (5) • Night Blindness.—Night blindness need not be tested as a routine but only in special cases. No standard test for the testing of nigh blindness or dark adaptation is prescribed. The Medical Board should be given the discre- tion to improvise such a rough test, e.g., recording of visual acquily with reduced illumination or by making the candi- date recognise various objects in a darkened room after he/ she has been there for 20 to 30 minutes. Candidates' own statements should not always be relied upon but they should be given due consideration.

Note (6) : (a) Ocular conditions other than visual acquity—Any organic disease or a progressive reactive er- ror which is likely to result in lowering the visual acquity should be considered as a disqualification

(b) Trachoma—Trachoma unless complicated shall not ordinarily be a cause for disqualification.

(c) Squint.—Where the presence of binocular vision is essential squint even if the visual acquity is of a prescribed standard should be considered as disqualification.

(d) One-eyed persons.—The employment of one-eyed individuals is not recommended.

7 Blood Pressure

The Board will use its discretion regarding Blood Pres- sure.

A rough method of calculating normal maximum systolic pressure is as follows '—

(I) With young subjects 15—25 years of age the average is about 100 plus the age.

(ii) With subject over 25 years of age the general rule of 110 plus half the age seems quite satisfactory.

N.B.—As a general rule any systolic pressure over 140 mm and diastolic over 90 mm should be regarded as suspi-PART I— SEC. 1] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 26, 2001 (JYAISTHA 5, 1923) 439 animation clinical and laboratory be considers necessary in- cluding a standard blood sugar tolerance test and will ;.ub•• mit his opinion to the Medical Board, upon which the Medi- cal Board will issue its final opinion "fit" or "unfit"'. The candidate will not be required to appear in person before the Board on the second occasion To exclude the effects of medi- cation it may be necessary to retain a candidate for seveial days in hospital under strict supervision cious and the candidates should be hospitalised by the Board before giving their final opinion regarding (he candidate's fitness or otherwise. The hospitalisation report should indi- cate whether the rise in blood pressure is of a transient na- ture due to excitement etc. or whether it is due to an> or- ganic disease. In all such cases X-ray and clectro-cardio- graphic examinations of heart and blood urea clearance test should also be done as a routine The final decision as to the fitness or otherwise of a candidate will, however, rest with the Medical Board only.

10 The following additional points should be ob-

served •—

The mercury manometer type of instrument should be used as a rule. The measurement should not be taken within fif- teen minutes of any exercise or excitement Provided the pa- tient and particularly his arm is relaxed, he may be either lying or sitting. The arm is supported comfortably at the patient's side in a more or less hr >izontal position. The arm should be freed from clothes to the shoulder. The cuff com- pletely deflated, should be applied with the middle of the rubber over the inner side of the arm and its lower edge an inch or two above the bend of elbow. The following turns of cloth bandage should spread evenly over the bag to avoid bulging during inflation.

(a) that the candidate's hearing in each ear is Ronrt and that there is no sign of disease of liu. car. fit case it is defective the candidate shouU h t t examined by the ear specialist; provided ihat n, the defect in hearing is remediable by operation or by use of a hearing aid candidate cannot be declared unfit on that accounts, provided he/she has no progressive disease in the ear. The fol- lowing are the guidelines for the medical exam- ining authority in this regard.

2

Marked or total deafness in one ear, other ear being normal.

(2) Perceptive deafness in both ears in which pome im- provement is possible by a hearing aid.

(3) Perforation of tympanic membrane of Central or marginal type.

(4)

The brachial artery is located by palpitation at the bend of the elbow and the stethoscope is then applied slightly and centrally over it below, but not in contact with the cuff. The cuff is inflated to about 200 mm Hg. and then slowly de- flated. The level at which the column stands when soft suc- cessive sounds arc heard represents the systolic pressure. When more air is allowed to escape the sounds will be heard to increase in intensity. The level at which the well-heard clear sounds change to soft muffled fading sounds represents the diastolic pressure. The measurements should be taken in fairly brief period of time as prolonged pressure of the cuff is irritating to the patient and will vitiate the readings. Re- checking if necessary, should be done only few minutes after complete deflation of the cuff. (Sometimes as the cuff is de- flated sounds arc heard at a certain level: they may disap- pear as pressure falls and re-appcar at still lower level. This silent Gap may cause error in readings).

Ears with Mastoid cavity subnormal one side/on both sides.

Persistently discharging ear opcrated/unoperated.

(6) Chronic inflammatory/allergic condition ot'nose wuh or without bony deformities of nasal seplurn

(7) Chronic Inflammatory conditions of tonsils and or Larynx.

Benign or locally malignant tumours of the E N T.

(8)

(9) Otoscalrosis

8. The urine passed in the piesence of the examiner, should be examined and the result recorded. Where a Medi- cal Board finds sugar present in a candidate's urine by the usual chemical test, the Board will proceed with he exami- nation with all its other aspects and will also specially note any signs or symptoms suggestive of diabetes If except for the glycosuria. the Board finds the candidate conforms to the standard of medical fitness required they may pass the candidate "fit subject to the glycosuna being non-diabetic" and the Board will refer the case to a specified specialist in Medicine who has hospital and laboratory facilities at his disposal.

11. Radiographic examination of the chest for detecting any abnormality of the heart and lungs, which may not be apparent by ordinary physical examination will be restricted to only such candidates who are declared finally successful at the concerned Geologists' Examination.

The decision of the Chairman of the Central Standing Medical Board (conducting the medical examination of the concerned candidate) about the fitness of the candidate shall be final,

When any defect is found it must be noted in that Certifi- cate and the medical examiner should state his opinion whether or ridt it is likely to interfere with the efficient per- formance of the duties which will be required of the candi- date.

Note,—Candidates are warned that there is no right of appeal from a Medical Board, special or standing appointed to determine the fitness for the above posts. If, however,PART I—SEC. 1 ] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, MAY 26, 2001 (JYAISTHA 5, 1923) 441 Government arc satisfied on the evidence produced before them of the possibility of an error of judgement in the deci- sion of the first Board it is open to Government to allow an appeal to a second Board. Such evidence should be submit- ted within one month of the date of the communication in which the decision of the first Medical Board is communi- cated to the candidate otherwise no request for an appeal to a second Medical Board, will be considered.

If any medical certificate is produced by a candidate as a piece of evidence about the possibility of an error of judge- ment in the decision of the first Board, the certificate will hot be taken into consideration unless it contains a note by the medical practitioner concerned to the effect that it has been given in full knowledge of the fact that the candidate had already been rejected as unfit for service by the Medical Board

Medical Board's Report

The following intimation is made for the guidance of the Medical Examiner :—

The standard of physical fitness to be adopted should make due allowance for the age and length of service if any of the candidate concerned.

No person will be deemed qualified for admission to the public service who shall not satisfy Government, or the appointing authority, as the case may be. that he has no disease constitutional affliction or bodily infirmity unfit- ting him or likely to unfit him for that service.

It should be understood that the question of fitness in- \ olves future as well as the present and that one of the main objects of medical examination is to secure con- tinuous effective service and in the case of candidates for permanent appointment to prevent early pension or pay- ments, in case of premature death. It is at the same time to be noted that the question is one of the likelihood of con- tinuous effective service and that rejection of a candidate need not be advised on account of the presence of a defect which in only a small proportion of cases is found to in- terfere with continuous effective service.

A lady doctor will be co-opted as a member of the Medi- cal Board whenever a woman candidate is to be exam- ined.

Candidates appointed to the posts of Geologists (Jr.)/As- sistant Geologist and Junior Hydrogeologists/Assistant Hydrogeologists are liable for field service in or out of India. In the case of such a candidate the Medical Board should specifically record their opinion as to his fitness or otherwise for field service.

The report of the Medical Board should be treated as con- fidential.

In cases where a Medical Board considered that a minor appointment in the Government service, the grounds for rejection may be communicated to the candidate in broad terms without giving minute details regarding the defects pointed out by the Medical Board.

In case where a Medical Board considered that a minor disability disqualifying a candidate for Government serv- ice can be cured by treatment (medical or surgical) a state- ment to that effect should be recorded by the Medical Board.

There is no objection to a candidate being informed of the Boards' opinion to this effect by the appointing au- thority and when a cure has been affected it will be open to the authority concerned to ask for another Medical Board.

In the case of candidate who are to be declared temporar- ily 'Unfit¹, period specified for re-examination should not ordinarily exceed six months at the maximum. On re- examination after the specified period these candidates should not be declared temporarily unfit for a further pe- riod but a final decision in regard to their fitness for ap- pointment or otherwise should be given.

(a) Candidate's statement and declaration.

The candidate must make the statement required below prior to his medical Examination and must sign the Decla- ration appended thereto. His attention is specially directed to the Warning contained in the Note below:—
