Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:52559 Court No. - 4 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 2834 of 2025 Petitioner :- Amit Gautam Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Anoop Baranwal Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J.
1. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri Pramod Kumar Srivastava learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel appearing for the State respondents. 2. By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, petitioner has approached this Court for a writ of mandamus to command the respondent to measure the size of the petitioner's chest through an independent and transparent process by a High Level Committee. 3. According to the petitioner, the physical standard test was held on 31st January, 2025, in which he was declared unfit for not having the requisite measurement of chest. He though has filed objection against the same on the same day but his request was not acceded. Thereafter he filed representation before respondent no. 2 on 10.02.2025 but till date nothing has been done in the matter and accordingly, petitioner approached this Court. 3. Sri Pramod Kumar Srivastava, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel has raised objection as to entertainability of this petition at this stage when the final results of selection of U.P. Police Constable Civil Police Direct Recruitment-2023 have already been published on 13th March, 2025 and no more any such exercise is pending before the authority. 4. It is also contended that petitioner could have approached the authority on same day or even if he was not heard, he could have sent letter by a registered post on the same day or the next day but he failed to do so and he made a representation only on 10th February, 2025 before respondent no. 2. 5. In the given facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that once the selection process has already come to an end and the publication of final results and the meritorious candidates have already been placed in the select list, the stage is over where the petitioner can be directed now for physical re- test. Petitioner cannot gain advantage at par with those who had approached this Court prior to declaration of final result of selection. 6.
Thus petitioner himself is to be blamed for delay in approaching the Court and this Court now at this stage can not interfere in such matters. 7. Petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. Order Date :- 9.4.2025 Shiraz Digitally signed by :- SHIRAZ ALI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
