18/01/2021
Respondent had filed the writ petition alleging that he
had been erroneously denied appointment as Constable. The writ
petition filed by the respondent was allowed by the learned Single
Judge vide order dated 29.10.2018. Hence, the present appeal by
the State.
Learned State counsel has submitted that the writ
petition filed by the respondent was liable to be dismissed as he
did not have the required chest and height measurements. On
medical examination, it was found that the respondent did not
meet the criteria fixed vis-à-vis chest and height measurements.
(2 of 2) [SAW-913/2019]
Learned counsel for the respondent, on the other hand,
has opposed the appeal and has submitted that in similar
circumstances, D. B. Special Appeal (Writ) No. 908/2019 filed by
the State was dismissed by Division Bench of this Court. Issue
involved in the said appeal was also similar. State had approached
the Hon'ble Supreme Court by filing special leave to appeal and
the same was dismissed vide order dated 16.09.2019.
Respondent had applied for recruitment as Constable in
pursuance to the advertisement issued by the State dated
25.05.2018. Although, respondent had cleared the written
examination but he was not granted appointment on the ground
that he did not meet the chest and height measurement
requirement.
During the pendency of the writ petition, Medical Board
was constituted to report with regard to the height and chest
measurement (deflated or inflated) of the respondent. As per the
report submitted by the Medical Board, it transpired that the
respondent had the required chest and height measurements.
Hence, the learned Single Judge allowed the writ petition filed by
the respondent.
In similar circumstances, writ petition filed by Brijesh
Kumar Meena was allowed by the learned Single Judge and D. B.
Special Appeal (Writ) No. 908/2019 filed by the State was
dismissed by Division Bench of this court. In this factual
background, the present appeal is liable to be dismissed.
Accordingly, the appeal stands dismissed.
