MR.ALEXANDER THOMAS,SC,KPSC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ----------------------------- W.P(C) No.14598 of 2009-T ------------------------------ Dated this the 7th day of August, 2009. J U D G M E N T Heard Sri.P.K.Ibrahim, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri.Alexander Thomas, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Kerala Public Service Commission. 2. The petitioner was an applicant for appointment to the post of Police Constable in the Armed Police Battalion in Ernakulam District. He was called to appear for the physical efficiency test held on 18.5.2009. The petitioner participated in all the eight items. He however cleared only four items namely 100 mtrs race, High Jump, Long Jump and Pull up. In this writ petition, the petitioner contends that he had cleared the minimum distance in putting the shot in the third attempt and thereafter he fell down and thereupon it was declared that he failed to clear the minimum distance in that event. The respondents have filed a counter affidavit and an additional counter affidavit. They dispute the case of the petitioner. It is stated that the petitioner did not clear the minimum distance prescribed for putting the shot and that he cleared only four out of the eight items. 3. Pursuant to the directions issued by this Court, the original of the result sheet was produced before me for perusal. It shows that the W.P(C) No.14598 of 2009-T 2 petitioner cleared the 100 mtrs race within the stipulated time. He cleared the minimum distance for High Jump and Long Jump in the third attempt and pull up in the first attempt. The result sheet shows that he did not clear the other four items namely putting the shot, throwing the cricket ball, rope climbing and 1500 meters. On going through the result sheet, I do not find any irregularity therein. The petitioner's case that he was declared to have failed after he was originally declared to have passed the test cannot be believed. In the said circumstances, I find no merit in the case set out by the petitioner. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. Sd/- P.N.RAVINDRAN JUDGE //True Copy// PA to Judge ab
