¶17

Learned State Counsel would submit that the approach of the learned Single Judge was fallacious in law, as without there being any material to show that the measurement taken on 06.09.2018 during the process of selection was wrong, direction was issued for re-measurement.

¶18

We find that during the process of selection the writ petitioner was subjected to weight measurement which came out to be 45 Kg on 06.09.2018. When writ petition was filed, a

direction was issued by the learned Single Judge for remeasurement by the Medical Board and within twenty two days when weight of writ petitioner was again checked it was recorded as 50 Kg by the Medical Board. This was done on 28.09.2018.

¶22

Taking into consideration that the cut off weight even as per advertisement was 47.5 Kg, the learned Single Judge granted relief to the writ petitioner finding fault with the measurement process during the process of selection.

¶23

Taking into consideration the short period within which the re-measurement was done by the Medical Board according to which the writ petitioner was found to be eligible, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case and particularly taking into consideration that re-measurement was done within less than twenty five days, we are not inclined to interfere with the order.

¶24

The appeal is accordingly dismissed.

¶25

We make it clear that we have not commented upon the principles applicable in the case and that shall be decided in the appropriate matter.
