(2.) LEARNED counsel for the respondents submitted that for the height in between 175.1 cm. to 177.00 cm., same marks are to be given and, therefore, it makes no difference even if height of the present petitioner is taken as 176.00 cm., as there will not be any addition of the marks to the petitioner and, thus, the petitioner has secured 18 marks whereas the last selected candidates in the category in which the petitioner has appeared at the examination, has secured 19 marks and, therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to be appointed to the post of Constable.
