Orders
The court disposed of MAT/1690/2025 as infructuous after the Supreme Court settled the identical issue in Union of India v. Atul Kumar Verma (decided 13.04.2026), establishing that recruitment candidates measuring 169.5 cm and above are entitled to height rounding to 170 cm. Since none of the writ petitioners fell below 169.5 cm, the appeal had no surviving issues and was accordingly disposed of. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
