The petitioner applied for the Civil Services Examination 2014 and qualified through all stages, but was declared "temporarily unfit" due to high BMI. He missed the re-medical test after the final result was published, assuming he was out of the race. Later, he found his name on a reserve list but was not allocated a service. He sought legal recourse to be treated similarly to another candidate, Mr. K. Rajashekhara Reddy, who had been granted relief after missing his re-medical test. The court granted a limited relief, allowing the petitioner a re-medical test without seniority benefits if he passes.
