Heard learned counsel for petitioners and learned State Counsel for opposite parties. 2. Petition has been filed seeking a direction to concerned authority to permit Document Verification and Physical Test (DV PST) test pertaining to petitioners for the Post of Radio Police Head Operator Mechanic in the U.P. Police. 3. It has been submitted that in pursuance of advertisement issued for the said post in the year 2022, petitioners had applied and their provisional admit card dated 31.01.2024 was also issued but they were unaware with regard to the date of Document Verification and Physical Test which in fact was conducted between 21.03.2025 to 27.03.2025. It is submitted that Physical Test was also conducted between 19.05.2025 till 21.05.2025 but information with regard to aforesaid was not received by petitioners. 4. For the said grievance, petitioners have already submitted a representation dated 14.05.2025. At present learned counsel for petitioners restricts his prayer for a final decision with regard to same. 5. Mr. Tushar Verma, learned State Counsel for opposite parties on the basis of instructions submits that ample information with regard to aforesaid Physical Test and Document Verification was uploaded on the website as well as sent through SMS on mobile phone upon the candidates and therefore, it is incomprehensible that petitioners were unaware on the said date. It is further submitted that the said aspects were also advertised in the newspapers. However, he submits that U.P. Police Raido Sub-ordinate Service Rules, 2015, particularly Rule 15 (c) and Appendix-1 thereto prescribes general instructions to the effect that in case a candidate fails to appear for the said purpose, an application can be given to the Committee form for conducting the test in the concerned district while providing reasons in detail for absence and request to appear in the examination on some other date may also be made. 6. In view of such provision indicated in the Rules, it is provided that petitioners may apply afresh for the aforesaid Document Verification and Physical Test in accordance with general instructions indicated in an Appendix-1 of the Rules of 2015 within a period of two weeks from today before Committee concerned which shall consider and decide the same in accordance with law within a period of two weeks thereafter, in case, vacancies of the said advertisement are still available. 7. In view of aforesaid directions, petition stands disposed of. Order Date :- 1.7.2025 Satish Digitally signed by :- SATISH KUMAR BHARATI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
