*********** By consent of both parties, this writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal.
2.The petitioner, having passed S.S.L.C, applied for the post of Grade -II Police Constables / Grad-II Jail Warders / Fireman - 2017, when applications were called for by the respondent Police Department. Subsequently, after passing the written examination, the petitioner was called for for the Physical Endurance Test. 3.Now, the grievance of the petitioner appears to be that the respondents have not seen her properly when she ran in the running event. As a result, she has been found disqualified. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
4.In view thereof, when the matter was earlier listed before this Court, this Court directed the respondents to produce the video recordings taken at the time of measurement. 5.As per the said direction, the learned Additional Advocate General appearing for the respondent Police Department produced the video recordings and the same was played before me in the presence of the learned counsel on either side and also the petitioner.
6.The petitioner has alleged that she was willing to take part in the 100 meters run event, but, she was forced to take part in 200 meters run event by the officials. Therefore, her participation in the 200 meters run event could not be taken into account and if the petitioner had taken part in the 100 meters event, she could have definitely proved herself as a successful candidate. Therefore, she requested one more chance.
7. In view of the above submission, this Court is of the view that the petitioner has been wrongly given a chance to take part in 200 meters run event. Therefore, the respondents are directed to give one more opportunity to the petitioner to take part in the run event of her choice.
7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
