Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:87639 Court No. - 4 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 7320 of 2025 Petitioner :- Akanksha Devi Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 5 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Anmol Tiwari Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J.
1. Heard Sri Anmol Tiwari, 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 re-conduct the physical standard test. According to the petitioner, the physical standard test was held on 25.04.2025, in which she was declared unfit for some defect in eye. She 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.
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 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 she was not heard, she could have sent letter by a registered post on the same day or the next day but she failed to do so.
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.
