Rashmi Srivastava v. State of Up and 2 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Rashmi Srivastava v. State of U.P. and 2 Others, High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, WRIT - A No. 8477 of 2025, decided 16.7.2025 by Hon'ble Ajit Kumar, J. Petitioner challenged lack of accommodation/second opportunity in the PST stage of the police recruitment 2022 (Radio Operator and Head Operator (Mechanic)), pleading ignorance of the PST date. Court held that online declaration of the written examination result (08.03.2025) and subsequent online notifications, including the board's notification dated 17.03.2025, gave adequate notice; the plea of no knowledge was found untrustworthy and the petitioner denied a second opportunity; writ petition dismissed as devoid of merits.
What did the court decide?
Since the written examination result was declared in March 2025 and subsequent steps in the selection process were notified through online publication, there is no question of accepting that the petitioner had no notice of the declaration of the written examination result and of the PST.
