CWP No. 8196 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 8196 of 2009 Date of Decision: May 27 , 2009 Surender Singh ...... Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr.J.P.Dhull, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J. The petitioner has doubted the correctness of the physical measurements conducted by the respondents and asserts that in fact his chest measurements are within the statutory parameters. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon a letter dated 22.5.2009 issued by the respondent No.1 to respondent No.2 whereby it has been informed that pursuant to a direction of this Court in 'some civil writ petitions' a fresh physical test is being conducted for the post of Sub Inspector of police (Male) and Inspector of police (Male) on 30.5.2009 at Police Lines, Ambala City. Copy placed on record as Mark 'A' Notice of motion. Mr.Harish Rathee, Senior DAG, Haryana accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. CWP No. 8196 of 2009 2 Learned counsel for the petitioner has supplied a copy of the writ petition to the learned Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana today in Court itself. The only argument of learned Senior DAG is that these are factual aspects and no allegation has been levelled by the petitioner regarding any mala fide in measuring his height and that, therefore, this growing practice should be curbed because otherwise every candidate would like to try his luck the second time. Though there is some weight in the argument of learned Senior DAG yet keeping in view the fact that this exercise is being conducted, in my opinion it would be in the interest of justice if the physical measurement of the petitioner is similarly taken on 30.5.2009. However, in deference to the argument of learned Senior DAG it is directed that the petitioner will deposit an amount of Rs.10,000/- with the respondent No.1 on or before 29.5.2009. In case the assertions of the petitioner are found to be correct the said amount will be refunded to him. With the aforementioned observations and with agreement of learned counsel for parties this writ petition is disposed of since this was the only limited prayer made in it. A copy of this order be supplied dasti to learned counsel for parties under the signatures of the Court Secretary. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE May 27, 2009 sunita
