There is no law that prohibits a person from signing in capital letters, the Delhi high court said while directing the Centre to consider the application of a man who was denied job for signing in capital letters.
A bench of justices Gita Mittal and Deepa Sharma recently allowed the plea of Arif, who was denied appointment for the post of constable in Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) earlier this year, and asked the central government to consider his candidature, if he is otherwise eligible, within six weeks.
The bench relied on the court's previous judgment on a similar issue and said "it is well settled that there is no law which prohibits a person to sign in capital letters. It has been held in the judgment of this court...that a signature is a trait which a person develops over a period of time and these traits can develop even with reference to capital letters."
The court accepted Arif's claim that he was informed about the denial of job through a letter on May 2 this year in response to his query under the Right to Information Act. The court said, "The petitioner cannot be denied consideration for appointment if otherwise eligible for the appointment as constable in the CISF as the candidature of the petitioner was rejected mainly due to his signatures being done in English...."
