    The court disposed of the appeal as infructuous after the Supreme Court settled the identical issue in Union of India v. Atul Kumar Verma (decided 13.04.2026), which established that recruitment candidates measured at 169.5 cm and above are entitled to height rounding to 170 cm. Since none of the respondents fell below 169.5 cm, the appeal no longer had merit and was accordingly dismissed.
