Kind attention of Railway Board is invited to Federation'sletter of even number dated 22I 08/ 20I 6, copy enclosed. hr the absenceof clarification on Board's letter dated 08tr January 2016,on some Zonal Railways, the candidatesare not subjectedto re-medical examinationon the plea that Board's orders dated 08/0112016are required to be applied prospectively.This view of Zonal Railways will not only causefurther litigation but also lead to problemsin the caseof candidateswho were declaredunfit by the competentmedical authoritiesearlier. Federation contends that subjecting the medically failed candidates to re-medical examinationirrespectiveof date of suchmedical unfitnessearlier will ensurelevel playing field to all suchcandidatesand contributefor minimizing the grievancesand Court cases. NFIR, therefore,requeststhe Railway Board to issue suitableclarification to the Zonal Railways etc., to conduct re-medical examination of the candidateson the basis of their application without imposing any restriction and if they fulfill the parameterslaid down in Board's letter dated 0810112016, they may becomefit for appointment.
