Madurai: After reviewing the video recording of the height measurements, Madras high court has overturned the decision of Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board (TNUSRB) disqualifying two candidates for not fulfilling the height requirement for the recruitment of grade II police constable, grade II jail warden and fireman.
The court asked the board to proceed with the further selection process, saying both these candidates have passed the height measurement test.
The candidates, K Jansirani and M Ayyambose, had moved the court seeking to quash the TNUSRB order and sought to permit them to participate in the physical endurance test and other recruitment process.
Justice M S Ramesh observed that since the petitioners were aggrieved at the measurement of height conducted by the officials, the court had permitted them to participate in the re-measurement conducted on December 11. Since the petitioners were still not satisfied, the court on December 16 permitted them to view the video recording of the re-measurement in the presence of the registrar (judicial) of the court who also submitted a report the next day.
Justice Ramesh said he had reviewed the video recording and it was seen that the height measurement of Jansirani is between 156.7cm and 156.8cm and that of Ayyambose between 169.7cm and 169.8cm. The judge said the fraction which is over 156.7cm is closer to 156.8cm and that over 169.7cm is closer to 169.8cm.
“Therefore, the height of Jansirani and Ayyambose could be ascertained as 156.8cm and 169.8cm respectively,” observed the judge.
The court said that by applying the guidelines in the GO passed by home department on November 19, 2014, a fraction of 0.2cm could be extended to the petitioners. Hence the height of Jansirani can be determined as 157cm which is the minimum height required for women candidates belonging to scheduled caste community and the height of Ayyambose as 170cm, the minimum required height for male candidates.
Since both the petitioners have passed the height measurement test, the judge directed TNUSRB to subject both these petitioners to further stages of selection process in accordance with procedure laid down in recruitment notification and closed these petitions.
