IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.4698 of 2011 Shashi Bhushan Kumar S/o Bhim Sen Prasad, R/o Mohalla- Mathurapur Colony, Block no. 15 Quarter no. 10 Post Office & P.S. Dalmia Nagar, Distt.- Rohtas-----Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna. 2. The Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna 3. The Central Selection Board of Constable through its Secretary, Bihar, Patna 4. The Chairman, CSB of constable, Bihar, Patna 5. The Secretary, CSBC, Bihar, Patna 6. The O.S.D. CSBC Bihar, Patna-------------Respondents ---------------------------------- For the Petitioner: Mr. R. K. Singh, Advocate For the Respondents: Mr. Shashi Bhushan, Advocate For the C.S.B.C.: M/s. Sanjay Pandey & B.K.Mishra Advocates ------------------------------------ 4 15.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Only to test the bona fide of the petitioner with regard to his initial assertion that his height is 169 c. m. which has been wrongly recorded or shown less to deny him the benefit of appointment, the Court gave liberty to petitioner to file categorical affidavit in this regard that he is ready to deposit some money for re- measurement of his height. After some introspection and re-thinking on the issue petitioner has filed a wishy-washy application that he may not be willing to abide by the condition with regard to re-measurement. Obviously the initial statement which was made by the petitioner with regard to his estimated height was not based on actual state of affairs because his understanding of height was based on so called measurement made by general scale available in the market. Obviously writ has been filed as a desperate measure only to create some kind of doubt with regard to the finding on his height 2 and as also for reconsideration on the question of re-measurement without any basis. Issue was already looked into by the respondent authority as would be evident from the counter affidavit filed on their behalf which shows that petitioner’s height was found to be 164 c.m. only. His assertion or statement that his height is 169 cm is not based on actual evidence or measurement. It is speculative kind of writ application filed without merit and it is dismissed accordingly.
