The Delhi high court has recently upheld Indian Airlines decision,to ground five overweight air hostesses.HC saw nothing wrong with the rules.HC also opined grace and concessions are not matters of legal right.Most important thing is, HC said there can be no illegality in policy matters.
HC also observed "air hostess job is strenuous and physical fitness is a must.Air crew has to be athletic to deal with any emergency and for that he or she has to be in good shape.One cannot shy away from the reality that by the very nature of their jobs, their overall physical personality is one of the primary consideration,"
Extend this philosophy to our cops.They need to be agile and physically fit and their job is more strenuous than the air hostess's. The demands made on our cops are much more. Most of our cops are pot bellied and are not athletic. Even during ceremonial parades where only selected few participate, one can see the pathetic sight of overweight pot bellied cops among the ranks.
Taking a cue from the HC judgment, all state governments can frame a policy to prescribe age limits, height and weight norms for cops. Those who do not conform to the norms may be given some sort of negative points during performance appraisals by their superiors.This would atleast motivate them to maintain good physique.I feel it is worth trying.
