A former police constable of the Port of Spain City Corporation has been granted permission to apply for judicial review against the Statutory Authorities Service Commission, alleging its failure to medically retire him.

Jodha Badal was permitted to pursue his claim by Justice Nadia Kangaloo on October 29.

Badal, represented by attorneys Michael Rooplal and Kevin Ratiram, is challenging what he describes as an unreasonable delay and breach of duty by the commission to act on medical board findings that declared him unfit for further service. A case management conference is set for November 14.
