Subsequently, the petitioner was called for document verification / physical standards test on 3.1.2025 in Sultanpur Police Lines, U.P. where his height was determined to be 167.4 cms. and the difference is less than one centimeter, in as much as, had the height been 166.8 cms, he would have qualified to the next level of examination. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the recruitment held in 2022 for the post of SSC GD, CAPF (Constable) the height measured by the respondents themselves was determined to be 168.6 cms. It has further been submitted that for the post of Radio Operator he has been found to be fit as the petitioner was above the minimum height of 168 cms. 4. Considering the fact that the difference in height is less than one centimeter and the same is measured physically, there are chances of human error and as interference has already been shown in other matters and the Medical Board is also in operation, let the height of the petitioner be re-determined, for which purposes he is directed to move an appropriate representation before the opposite party No.2- Chairperson, Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board, Lucknow, who shall pass necessary orders for re-examination of the height of the petitioner before the duly constituted Medical Board at Lucknow. 5.
