    The court disposed of the CRPF's appeal as infructuous after an apex court ruling settled the identical controversy. The Supreme Court had held that CRPF constable recruitment candidates measuring 169.5 cm or above cannot be disqualified for insufficient height, with 0.5 cm being ignored and measurements rounded up. Since the writ petitioner (Akash Rai) was found to be 169.5 cm or above, the appeal had no surviving issues. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
