Tattoo removal after medical exam to join force not allowed: HC
short by Garima Garg / on Tuesday, 6 January, 2026
Calcutta High Court ruled that removing tattoos after being declared unfit in a detailed medical examination and before a review medical examination is not permissible. HC dismissed an aspiring Central Armed Police Forces candidate's plea, who had his tattoos removed after the initial exam, but was still disqualified. Fitness must be judged based on the date of the detailed examination.
