He said medical tests have proved he was not suffering from the disease.

But the airline counsel dismissed the medical reports saying medication can suppress the results and prevent hypothyroidism from being detected during tests.

The airline counsel contended that the company had no policy to conduct re-examination.

The court directed the airline to consider the candidate for the necessary training if he cleared the medical test.
