2. By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of Constitution of India, petitioner has prayed for quashing of the rejection slip dated 27.08.2025 whereby the petitioenr has been declared unsuccessful in the physical standard test held for the post of Constable (GD), Central Armed Police Force.
3. Per contra, it is argued by Sri Prem Narain Rai, learned panel counsel for the respondent that upon rejection in the physical standard test, a candidate is required to apply for appeal the same day so that the review physical standard test is held vide Clause 12.5.5 which provides as under:
"12.5.5. The candidates, who are declared not qualified in Physical Standards (i.e., height and chest) may prefer an appeal on the same day, if they, so desire, to the Appellate Authority nominated for the Centre through the Presiding Officer (PO). The decision of the Appellate Authority will be final and no further appeal or representation in this regard will be entertained thereafter. There is Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Chandan Kumar Chaturvedi, Rajesh Tewari Counsel for Respondent(s) : A.S.G.I. Tripurari Yadav .....Petitioner(s) Union Of India And 3 Others .....Respondent(s)
no appeal in PET (Race)."
4. Meeting the submission so advanced learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the previously held test for the same post in the physical standard test, height of the petitioner was measured as 170 cms, whereas this time it is measured less than that and hence it is a better case to be reconsidered for the physical standard test.
5. In the given facts and circumstances, it is appropriate for the petitioner to make an application before the appropriate authority within two weeks who shall arrange another physical standard test for the petitioner in respect of the post in question pursuant to the selection.
6. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this petition stands disposed of. September 10, 2025 Deepika WRIA No. 13441 of 2025 2 (Ajit Kumar,J.) Digitally signed by :- DEEPIKA SINGH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
