    The court disposed of the appeal as infructuous after the Supreme Court's decision in an identical case established that constable recruitment candidates measuring 169.5 cm or above cannot be disqualified for insufficient height, with measurements rounded up from 169.5 cm. Since none of the petitioners fell below 169.5 cm, no issue remained for adjudication. The court also condoned a 36-day delay in filing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
