O R D E R

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. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

3.Now, the grievance of the petitioner appears to be that the respondents have not seen properly when she jumped in the long jump event. As a result, she has been found disqualified. 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 for the respondents and also the petitioner.

6.A perusal of the same would go to show that the petitioner has jumped only upto 2.03 metres in the long jump event as against the requisite distance of 3.00 metres, for being qualified. Therefore, she is rightly disqualified by the respondent Police.

7. Therefore, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS-I) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.The Member Secretary, Tamilnadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board, Chennai.
