    The court disposed of the CRPF's appeal as infructuous after the Supreme Court's earlier decision in Union of India v. Atul Kumar Verma settled the identical controversy. Applying the Supreme Court's height measurement rounding rule (0.5cm margins rounded up), respondent Hamida Khatun—measured at 156.5cm against the 157cm minimum requirement—qualified and could not be disqualified on height grounds. The 50-day delay in filing was also condoned. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
