producing the lapse sheet, clearly shows that when she was given first chance, she was able to jump only 1.85 meters. Again she was given second chance, but she was not able to come nearer to the requisite mark, since she has jumped only 1.95 meters only.

4. A perusal of the lapse sheet clearly shows that the petitioner has jumped only 1.85 meters in the first chance and in the second chance, she jumped 1.95 meters. Therefore, the disqualification slip issued against the petitioner can never be questioned and the same is liable to be dismissed.

At this juncutre, the learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that on the date of physical efficiency test, the petitioner has suffered an injury, as a result of which, she was not able to actively participate in the long jump. This Court is not able to accept the said contention of the petitioner, as the said injury has occurred because of her fault.

6. With the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed.
