Ordered accordingly. The said measurement shall be conducted at an appropriate institution to be decided by the respondents, as per the rules and instructions on the subject. Depending upon the outcome of the fresh measurement, the necessary consequential action with respect to the applicant's participation or otherwise in the Physical Endurance and Measurement Test (PE&MT) shall also be taken within one week thereafter. In the event the applicant participates in the PE&MT and is successful therein, she shall be entitled to appointment, subject to fulfilment of all other requisite eligibility conditions. The aforesaid directions shall be complied with positively within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, if the applicant is found to meet the prescribed height criteria, the respondents shall proceed further in the matter in accordance with law."
