It has been submitted that the petitioner had participated in the recruitment of Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Civil Police Direct Recruitment, 2023 and had appeared in the written examination where he was declared successful. Subsequently, the petitioner was called for document verification / physical standards test on 16.1.2025 in Reserve Police Lines, Civil Line Railway Station Road, Nawabganj, Barabanki where his height was determined to be 167.7 cms. and 167.5 cms. and the difference is less than one centimeter, in as much as, had the height been 168 cms, he would have qualified to the next level of examination.
3. 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.
