The Delhi High Court has said "there is no law which prohibits a person to sign in capital letters" and directed the Centre to consider the application of a man who was denied a job for signing his name in capital letters.
A bench of justices Gita Mittal and Deepak 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 this court's previous judgement 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 judgement 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.
