Order
27/07/2021
1. The petitioners – all women candidates who were having advance pregnancy have preferred the present bunch of writ petitions, inter alia, seeking exemption from appearing in the Physical Efficiency Test on account of their pregnancy.
2. This Court has granted interim orders in all these writ petitions on different dates, inter alia, observing that their candidature shall not be rejected, if they did not appear in the scheduled Physical Efficiency Test.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that in the Physical Efficiency Test the candidates are/were supposed to run for about 5 kms. If they had taken part in the race, it would have posed serious threat, not only to their child in womb but also to their own lives.
4. Learned counsel rely upon judgment of Division Bench dated 30.05.2017 rendered in bunch of cases led by Laxmi Devi Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors (D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.18808/2015) and pray that identical relief/indulgence be also given in these matters.
5. Mr. Manish Vyas, learned AAG, is not in a position to dispute the aforesaid position of facts and law. He, however, submits that the petitioners in the present bunch of petitions were supposed to appear on different dates in different districts and thus, a common date and place for Physical Efficiency Test be allowed to be held for all such candidates.
6. The present writ petitions are therefore, allowed in terms of Division Bench judgment in case of Laxmi Devi (supra).
7. Director General of Police, Headquarter, Jaipur is directed to hold common Physical Efficiency Test for all the petitioners in second week of October, 2021.
8. It will be required of the respondents to intimate each petitioner about the date, time and place of the Physical Efficiency Test, at least a week in advance on their Email ID and Mobile number, given by them in their application forms. 9. Stay petition stands disposed of accordingly.
