Law of Services-----medical Certificate
Law of services---Medical certificate.
When a man is recruited and appointed, it is the first requirement of law that he should get himself medically examined and if t he doctor finds him fit only then he is allowed to join duty. Once a doctor has declared that he is not a fit person, then he can file an appeal and a next board of doctors shall examine him and if he is again found unfit for service, he is not allowed to join and if he is already in service, he is asked to leave the job.
Similarly when an employees wants leave on medical grounds, he is required to obtain a medical certificate and that certificate must be attached with the application for leave on medical grounds. And if the competent authority is not satisfied with the certificate obtained by the employee, then the competent authority shall direct him to present himself before the Civil Surgeon of the district or before some othr competent doctor for further examination. When an employees wants leave on medical grounds, he must obtain a certificate and only then his application shall be considered and the competent authority shall see whether that application should be accepted or the employee should be sent for further medical check up. A competent authority has this discretion with him and if he does not send the employee for further examination, then he shall have to accept the medical certificate and grant leave of the kind due to the employee.
Some organizations ask the employees to have medical examination or some employees are sent for examination and the employer is at liberty to have such checks and then decide as to whether the employee be kept in service or he should be sent on pension because every employer wants that only people who are fit should be kept in service. The employers often send their drivers to medical examination so that their eye sight could be checked and the competent authority must examine as to whether the man should be allowed to continue in service or his services should be terminated or he should be given pension or some alternative job in the organization.
