2.The appellant took part in the selection process held for the post of Grade-II Police Constables/ Grade-II Jail Warders/Fireman-2017. On the Physical Endurance Test, he was disqualified, on the ground that his height was 166.5 c.m. which is below the qualification height of 167 c.m. The height of the appellant was once again measured before us. It was seen that the height of the appellant was 166.4 c.m which again fell below the qualification level. The appellant himself was satisfied that he was not fulfilling the necessary height standard. 3.Therefore, we dismiss the writ appeal as devoid of merits. It stands dismissed. No costs.
