(a) The commission may refuse to examine any applicant, or after examination may refuse to certify as eligible anyone, who is found to lack any of the minimum qualifications for examination prescribed in the rules and regulations adopted for the position or employment for which he has applied, or who is physically disabled and unfit for the performance of the duties of the position to which he seeks employment, or who is addicted to the habitual use of intoxicating liquors or drugs, or who has been guilty of any crime involving moral turpitude or infamous or notorious disgraceful conduct, or who has been dismissed from public service for delinquency or misconduct in office, or who is affiliated with any group whose policies or activities are subversive to the form of government set forth in the Constitutions and laws of the United States and of Pennsylvania.

(b) If any applicant or person feels himself aggrieved by the action of the commission in refusing to examine him or to certify him as eligible, they shall, at the request of such person, within ten days, appoint a time and place where he may appear personally and with counsel, whereupon the commission shall then review its refusal to make such examination or certification, and take such testimony as may be offered, and then again render its decision.
