JUDGMENT 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. Issue in the first three appeals concerns subjecting candidates seeking appointment to the post of Conductor undergoing Physical Efficiency Test at Udaipur on 08.09.2018. In the fourth appeal it relates to Physical Efficiency Test conducted on 11.09.2018 at Kota. It is not in dispute that in the morning of 08.09.2018 there was a heavy rainfall in Udaipur. On 11.09.2018 there was heavy rainfall in Kota. Requirement of the Physical Efficiency Test was for the candidates to run 5 kms in 25 minutes. The case of the appellants was that due to heavy rain the track became swampy and on that account it became slippery. This impacted their performance at the Physical Efficiency Test. 3. For recruiting Constable in the State of Rajasthan Physical Efficiency Tests were conducted at Jaipur, Ajmer, Kota and Udaipur on different dates being 29.08.2018, 07.09.2018, 08.09.2018, 09.09.2018, 10.09.2018, 11.09.2018 and 13.09.2018. 4. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather on all these dates there was rainfall in the city of Jaipur, Ajmer, Kota and Udaipur. 5. Large number of writ petitions came to be filed. To obtain factual report a Court Commissioner was appointed to view the video footage of the tracks and submit a report. The report submitted by the Commissioner has been summarized by the learned Single Judge on pages 15 to 17 of the decision dated 27.11.2018 passed in a large number of writ petitions, lead matter being S.B. Civil Writ No. 13731/2018, Revant Ram Meghwal & Ors. v. State of Rajasthan & Ors.

Observing in the judgment that it is duty of the recruiting agency to provide a reasonably normal conditions so as to ensure that the candidate is able to participate in the recruitment exercise to best of his ability and is not hampered on account of extraneous conditions, the learned Single Judge has held that where the entire track was not found to be wet or muddy, relief cannot be granted but where the track has been found to be reasonably sticky/swampy, muddy & potholed/ pretty muddy/ slightly muddy/ somewhat muddy, the candidates deserve one more opportunity to undergo the Physical Efficiency Test. 7. The result is that some writ petitions were allowed with a direction that one more opportunity was granted to the candidates and the rest were dismissed. 8. A look at the data detailed by the learned Single Judge gives a vital information which appears to have been overlooked by the learned Single Judge. At Jaipur, on 29.08.2018 the Physical Efficiency Test was conducted in the morning and in the evening. The condition of the track as of 08:46 A.M. is the same of 04:02 P.M. and this shows the level to which the track had got affected. At Kota, Physical Efficiency Test was conducted at 09:00 A.M., 12:00 Noon and 02:00 P.M. on 07.09.2018, 08.09.2018 and 09.09.2018. The data shows that on all three dates the track was affected due to rainfall. The date of the Physical Efficiency Test held on 10.09.2018 at 09:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. shows same position. Physical Efficiency Test conducted in Kota on 11.09.2018 and 13.09.2018 also shows the same position. At Udaipur, Physical Efficiency Test conducted on 07.09.2018 and 08.09.2018 at 11:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. likewise shows the track to be affected due to rainfall. 9. Under the circumstances the nuanced distinction drawn by the learned Single Judge as noted above is too tenuous. Physical Efficiency Test conducted in Kota on 11.09.2018 and 13.09.2018 also shows the same position. At Udaipur, Physical Efficiency Test conducted on 07.09.2018 and 08.09.2018 at 11:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. likewise shows the track to be affected due to rainfall. 9. Under the circumstances the nuanced distinction drawn by the learned Single Judge as noted above is too tenuous. There is enough material to show that on all the dates the tracks were badly affected due to rainfall and merely because at a given time extent of damage to the track was more vis-a-vis other occasions would be no ground to drawn the distinction as has not been drawn by the learned Single Judge. 10. We allow the appeals and set-aside the impugned order dismissing the writ petitions filed by the appellants. 11. We direct that the appellants be subjected to fresh Physical Efficiency Test at a track which is free from water logging.
