High Court rules vision impairment affects military induction standards.

The Delhi High Court has ruled against Uma Maheshwara Sastry Durbaka, who sought admission to the NDA and Naval Academy Examination, citing his vision deformity as a potential threat to national security. Despite passing the written exam and interview, he was deemed medically unfit for both the Navy and Army due to central nebular corneal opacity in his right eye, as confirmed by multiple medical boards. The court emphasized the importance of strict medical standards for military induction, arguing that any vision impairment could compromise operational effectiveness. This ruling underscores the crucial balance between individual aspirations and the imperative of maintaining a robust defense force.
