Tattoo on right forearm costs two CRPF inspectors promotion; Delhi HC dismisses pleas
Two CRPF inspectors were denied promotion to Assistant Commandant due to tattoos on their right forearms, deemed the saluting limb. The Delhi High Court upheld the decision, clarifying that while tattoos aren't banned, strict rules govern their placement, size, and content. The court ruled that having tattoos removed after being declared unfit doesn't qualify them for the current vacancies, advising them to reapply for future examinations.
