NO. 2128 OF 2009\n                   ---------------------------------------------\n                  Dated this the 30th day of October, 2009\n\n\n                                 JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n<p>Ravikumar, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      The appellant was the petitioner.             He was an applicant for<\/p>\n<p>appointment to the post of Police Constable in the Armed Police Battalion<\/p>\n<p>in Ernakulam District. In connection with the selection process, he was<\/p>\n<p>called upon to appear for the physical efficiency test on 18.5.2009. In<\/p>\n<p>order to earn a place in the list of qualified candidates in the physical<\/p>\n<p>efficiency test, one has to qualify in five items out of eight. According to<\/p>\n<p>the respondent, the petitioner, though participated in all the eight items,<\/p>\n<p>had cleared only in four items, namely 100 metres run, High Jump, Long<\/p>\n<p>Jump and Pull up. But, according to the petitioner, besides clearing the<\/p>\n<p>aforesaid items, he had cleared the minimum qualifying distance in &#8216;Shot<\/p>\n<p>put&#8217;in his third attempt. It is his case that after clearing the said<\/p>\n<p>minimum qualifying distance, he fell down due to muscle pull and<\/p>\n<p>consequently he was declared as failed in respect of the said event. This,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.A.NO. 2128\/2009                      2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>according to the appellant, is illegal and, therefore, he sought for issuance<\/p>\n<p>of a writ of mandamus commanding the respondent to consider Ext.P2, his<\/p>\n<p>representation dated 25.5.2009, requesting for granting another chance to<\/p>\n<p>participate in the said item, rather putting the shot, and to consider his<\/p>\n<p>performance afresh for selection to the post of Police Constable.<\/p>\n<p>      2.   The respondent herein has filed a counter affidavit and an<\/p>\n<p>additional counter affidavit in the Writ Petition refuting the claims and<\/p>\n<p>contentions of the appellant. According to the respondent, the appellant<\/p>\n<p>had participated in all the eight items, but had cleared only in the aforesaid<\/p>\n<p>four items. As regards &#8216;shot put&#8217; he had failed to qualify in all his three<\/p>\n<p>attempts. It was after considering the contentions and on perusing the<\/p>\n<p>original of the result sheet that the learned Single Judge arrived at the<\/p>\n<p>conclusion that the case of the appellant\/petitioner that he had qualified in<\/p>\n<p>the item &#8220;shot put&#8221; is unbelievable and accordingly dismissed the Writ<\/p>\n<p>Petition. This appeal is preferred against the said judgment.<\/p>\n<p>      3. Both parties have reiterated their contentions which were raised<\/p>\n<p>before the learned Single Judge. As noticed hereinbefore, the contention<\/p>\n<p>of the appellant is that he had cleared the minimum qualifying distance in<\/p>\n<p>respect of the item &#8220;shot put&#8221; and he fell down only thereafter and,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.A.NO. 2128\/2009                       3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>therefore, there was no reason to disqualify him, rather to declare him as<\/p>\n<p>failed, in respect of that item. The specific contention of the respondent is<\/p>\n<p>that the appellant had failed to qualify in the said item. In the context of<\/p>\n<p>the rival contentions, Ext.P2 itself assumes relevance. There was no<\/p>\n<p>immediate response on the part on the appellant after his disqualification.<\/p>\n<p>He had submitted Ext.P2 representation only on 25.5.2009. His own<\/p>\n<p>version of the incident in Ext.P2 is as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                    &#8220;In all the above items I participated and<br \/>\n              got myself declared pass in 100 mtr.runs, high<br \/>\n              jump, long jump, pull up. In putting the shot<br \/>\n              though I crossed the mark, due to muscle pull, I<br \/>\n              got fell down in the line and the result declared as<br \/>\n              passed was further declared as foul.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                                        (emphasis supplied)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      4. Thus, going by the very version of the incident, admittedly,<\/p>\n<p>while putting the shot, the appellant had crossed the mark due to muscle<\/p>\n<p>pull. Whatever by the reason, such a throw cannot be styled as a legal<\/p>\n<p>throw and he cannot, therefore, claim that the said attempt should be taken<\/p>\n<p>as a legal one and he should be declared as passed in the said item merely<\/p>\n<p>because he had cleared the minimum qualifying distance. Based on the<\/p>\n<p>very admission on the part of the appellant\/petitioner and the way in<\/p>\n<p>which he described the incident, no one can attribute any kind of illegality<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.A.NO. 2128\/2009                      4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>in the action on the part of the respondent in declaring him as failed in that<\/p>\n<p>attempt in respect of the said item. Admittedly, he had failed in respect of<\/p>\n<p>that item in the other two attempts as well.    To be a valid throw in &#8216;shot<\/p>\n<p>put&#8217;, the shot putter should not cross the mark in that process. Therefore,<\/p>\n<p>the appellant was only to be declared as failed in respect of the said item<\/p>\n<p>based on his own admission that he had crossed the mark while putting the<\/p>\n<p>shot. That alone was done by the respondent. However, on account of the<\/p>\n<p>persuasive assertion on behalf of the appellant, we had directed for<\/p>\n<p>production of the original result sheet pertaining to the appellant in<\/p>\n<p>connection with the physical efficiency test held on 18.5.2009.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Accordingly, the result sheet was produced. We have carefully perused<\/p>\n<p>the same. The result sheet would reveal that the appellant had      failed in<\/p>\n<p>all his three attempts in regard to the item &#8220;shot put&#8221; and that he had<\/p>\n<p>participated in all the eight items and came out successful only in respect<\/p>\n<p>of four items, namely, 100 metres run, high jump, long jump and pull up.<\/p>\n<p>We are unable to find any kind of irregularity in the original result sheet<\/p>\n<p>produced by the respondent. Therefore, there is no reason to disagree with<\/p>\n<p>the finding of the learned Single Judge that the inconsistent case of the<\/p>\n<p>appellant\/petitioner cannot be believed and there is no merit in the case set<\/p>\n<p>out by him.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.A.NO. 2128\/2009                 5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     The appeal is, therefore, devoid of merits and it is liable to be<\/p>\n<p>dismissed. We do so.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                 (KURIAN JOSEPH)<br \/>\n                                        JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>                                 (C.T.
