Court Rejects SI Aspirant's Plea Blaming Weather for Poor Performance

• Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed a plea by a Sub-Inspector aspirant disqualified from selection after failing a swimming trial.
• The candidate attributed his poor performance in the December 31 trial to "extremely cold weather conditions," seeking quashing of results.
• Justice Jagmohan Bansal noted the petitioner raised no objection during the trial and all candidates faced identical conditions.
• The court emphasized that rules cannot be changed after the game and found no discrimination or arbitrariness by authorities.
• It ruled that judicial interference in selection matters is unwarranted without unfairness, upholding the recruitment board's discretion.

Why It Matters: Court: Rules can't change post-game; weather no excuse for SI aspirant's failed trial.
