    The court disposed of the appeal as infructuous because the Supreme Court had already settled the identical issue in a prior order dated 13.04.2026 (Union of India v. Atul Kumar Verma), holding that recruitment candidates measured at 169.5 cm and above are entitled to height rounding to 170 cm. Since none of the respondent writ petitioners fell below 169.5 cm, no live issue remained for adjudication. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
