Madras High Court orders release of ₹185 crore for eradicating seemai karuvelam
Justices N. Sathish Kumar and K. Rajasekar direct Collectors to release the amount from the District Mineral Foundation Trust funds
On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court denied a plea from a Combined Defence Services (CDS) candidate seeking admission to the Indian Military Academy (IMA). The court ruled that the candidate had not adequately disclosed his previous medical withdrawal from the National Defence Academy (NDA). The candidate had passed the CDS-II 2025 exam and had applied for the IMA-161 course.
The judgment was issued by a Division Bench comprising Justice Nitin Wasudeo Sambre and Justice Amit Sharma in the case of Tarun Kumar Tripathi vs Union of India and Ors. The court emphasized the importance of candidates fully and truthfully disclosing their medical history to enable the armed forces to evaluate any ongoing disability or injury that may affect their fitness for service.
The court found the candidate's failure to disclose his 2022 injury, hospitalization, and medical condition during the CDS selection process to be material and deliberate. By withholding this information, the court stated that the candidate had prevented the medical boards from assessing whether the femoral injury continued to impact his fitness for Army service.
