The High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) has determined that the candidate's mild color blindness does not pose an impediment to serving as an agent of the National Police Corps. The ruling also compels the Administration to place him in the ranking with the seniority corresponding to 2023 and to cover the legal costs of the process.

The financial compensation covers three full years of back pay that the applicant would have received had he been admitted at the time. The judicial decision stipulates that the aspirant must be appointed to the CNP with the same position and seniority as his peers who passed the tests in the original promotion, as explained by lawyer Fernando Osuna, representing the agent.

This ruling represents a significant setback for the General Directorate of the Police, which based the exclusion on medical criteria that the court found insufficiently motivated and lacking adequate technical foundation. Throughout the process, the aspirant provided ophthalmological reports attesting to his full visual capacity, indicating 100% functional vision despite his minor color blindness.

The defense of the Directorate of the Police relied solely on a brief medical report, lacking the specific motivation required for the case. This disparity in the quality of medical documentation was decisive for the TSJ of Madrid to rule in favor of the plaintiff. Medical experts confirmed during the trial that the applicant's condition falls within the tolerated limits for performing ordinary police duties.

The sentence argues that the slight loss of color perception does not affect the applicant's police activity, describing it as a "slight loss of faculties that in no way affects his police activity and therefore does not impose any limitation on his physical activity to perform police duties."

The Administration must now calculate and pay the retroactive earnings, including all salaries, extraordinary payments, and benefits the agent would have received from his theoretical start date to the present. The legal proceedings began several years ago when the candidate was not admitted due to perceived issues with color vision. This administrative and judicial battle has lasted three years since the initial appeals.

Color blindness, a genetic condition affecting color perception (primarily red and green), is more common in men. In this specific case, it was determined that the aspirant's condition did not compromise his general visual acuity or his ability to perform police tasks, maintaining 100% functional vision. While the National Police Corps access regulations establish specific visual requirements, the court concluded they must be interpreted proportionally and non-discriminatorily, especially when a mild chromatic anomaly does not affect the candidate's actual operational capacity.
