8. It appears that the petitioner appeared for recruitment in Central Armed Police Force in the year 2024 and in the year 2025. In the year 2024, the petitioner was declared medically unfit on the ground of hyper tension by the Detailed Medical Examination Board. The Review Medical Examination Board, however, did not found hyper tension in the petitioner and declared him fit.
