Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:83143 Court No. - 4 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 6976 of 2025 Petitioner :- Anita Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Arvind Kumar Tiwari Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J. Heard Sri Arvind Kumar Tiwari, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri Pramod Kumar Srivastava learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel appearing for the State respondents. 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 re-conduct the physical standard test. According to the petitioner, the physical standard test was held on 20th January, 2025, in which she was declared unfit for not having the requisite height. He though applied for the review on the same day but his request was not acceded to and hence he approached the authority by writing a letter. He submits that till date nothing has been done in the matter and accordingly, petitioner approached this Court. 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 such exercise is pending before the authority. 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 applied by a registered post only on 18th March, 2025 by writing a letter to the Superintendent of Police, Kaushambi, U.P., whereas petitioner is himself a resident of Prayagraj. 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 a fresh physical standard test. Petitioner cannot gain advantage at par with those who had approached this Court prior to declaration of final result of selection and he himself is to be blamed for delay in approaching the Court and this Court now at this stage can not interfere in such matters. Petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. Order Date :- 19.5.2025 IrfanUddin Digitally signed by :- IRFAN UDDIN SIDDIKI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
