In Brief
A woman applicant sought appointment as a Police Constable after claiming to have passed physical standards and selection tests. However, she failed to disclose in her court petition that she had been weighed three times and found to be significantly below the mandatory minimum weight of 47.5 kg on all occasions. The Court found this suppression of material facts fatal to her case. Since she had failed the basic physical requirement and rechecking had been properly conducted by senior officers with videographic evidence, no grounds existed for a fresh opportunity. The writ petition was dismissed.
