VIJAYAWADA: The physical test (height) for the candidates of sub-inspector of police selections will be taken on the Andhra Pradesh High Court premises under the supervision of the court. In all, 24 candidates filed a petition in the court stating that though they had qualified in the 2018 notification in height for police selections, they were disqualified in the 2023 notification on the same parameter.
The single-judge bench had earlier stayed the announcement of results after hearing the plea of the disqualified aspirants. The State government and the State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB) challenged the same before the division bench of the High Court.
While hearing the petition, the division bench said the height of the petitioners would be measured under its supervision. If the allegation of the petitioners is not proven, every petitioner has to pay a penalty of `1 lakh. The court directed the petitioners’ counsel to place before it the names of the candidates, who are ready to take the test and posted the matter for hearing on November 29.
