IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3644 of 2011 Lalan Das SON OF SAHEB DAS RESIDENT OF VILLAGE PATHALGHATA, P.S. LAXMIPUR, P.O. GOURA, DISTRICT JAMUI Versus 1. The State Of Bihar THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY, BIHAR, PATNA. 2. SECRETARY, CENTRAL RECRUITMENT BOARD, BACK HARDING ROAD, PATNA. ----------- For the Petitioner :- Mr. Bachanji Ojha. For the State :- Mr. S. Rahman, A.C. to G.A. 4. For the CSBC :- Mr. Sanjay Pandey ------ 2 12/07/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the Central Recruitment Board. Petitioner was one of the candidates who was otherwise successful in other parameters but failed because of lack of requisite height in the category, he was a claimant. Petitioner is supposed to be a scheduled caste candidate and the minimum required height is 162 cms. Measurement done at the time of recruitment indicated the height of the petitioner as 161 cms. But the assertion made in the writ application is that he is atleast 163 cms., in height. This Court has no mechanism or infrastructure to now measure height of the failed candidate but if the - 2 - petitioner has remedy to approach superior authority and there is avenue for reconsideration for re-measurement, he may avail the same even at this stage, if the entire exercise for recruitment has not been completed. If the petitioner approaches the authorities, they will do the needful and let the petitioner know his actual status as to his height because today learned counsel for the Central Recruitment Board has produced a document showing signature of the petitioner where his height has been recorded as 161 cms., only. This writ application is disposed of with the observation aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
