(2 of 3) [CW-17334/2026] 12 different centres throughout the State of Rajasthan, with approximately 2,500 participants invited to each centre.

2. The petitioner has approached this Court challenging the result of the said PET. The core grievance of the petitioner is that she was unable to qualify the said physical test due to force majeure conditions and reasons entirely beyond her control.
