Delhi HC upholds CRPF promotion denial over tattoos on saluting arm
Two CRPF inspectors were denied promotion to the rank of Assistant Commandant because they had tattoos on their right forearms, which is considered the saluting limb. The Delhi High Court upheld the decision, clarifying that tattoos are not outright banned in the force but are subject to strict regulations regarding placement, size, and content. The court further ruled that having the tattoos removed after being declared unfit does not entitle the officers to the current vacancies. The inspectors were instead advised to reapply when future examination cycles open.
