Hon'ble Neeraj Tiwari,J.
- Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the Respondents and perused the record.
- Present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner inter-alias with the prayer to direct the respondent nos. 2 and 3 to again reconduct the Physical Standard Test (PST) for measurement of height of the petitioner with the help of BIS (Bureau of Indian Standard) approved equipment as the respondents has fixed the height of the petitioner in the erroneous computation of the height of the petitioner.
- Counsel for the petitioner argues that the height of the petitioner is more than 168 centimeters. He further relies upon the Rules to impress that the measurement of the height has to be done by the standard equipments, which are BIS certified, which was not done according to petitioner while measuring the height of the petitioner. He further states that no written communication has been provided to indicate as to what was the height of the petitioner when the test was done twice. He thus submits that in the same test, earlier the petitioner was found to be having more than the minimum height prescribed, whereas in the subsequent examination held in pursuance to the present advertisement, the height of the petitioner has been found to be less than the prescribed minimum standard of 168 centimeters and there is no communication with regard to the actual height of the petitioner as measured in the test conducted.
Issues for consideration
1 issue framed by the court
