IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AT HYDERABAD
NAGESH BHEEMAPAKA
Bokku Sujatha – Appellant
Versus
State of Telangana – Respondent
ORDER:
NAGESH BHEEMAPAKA, J.
Petitioners filed this Writ Petition aggrieved by the arbitrary, illegal and unconstitutional procedure adopted by the 2nd respondent - Telangana State Public Service Commission (hereinafter referred to as ‘TGSPSC’), in the process of re-evaluation and publication of results for recruitment to Group-II Services pursuant to Notification No.20/2015, dated 30.12.2015 and Supplementary Notification No.17/2016, dated 01.09.2016. They contend that the entire re-evaluation and finalization of results culminating in the notification dated 24.10.2019 is contrary to the binding directions issued by the Division Bench in Writ Appeal No. 1525 of 2018 and batch, as well as the recommendations of the Technical Committee constituted by the Commission.
2. The case of petitioners is that the 2nd respondent in the guise of implementing the Division Bench's judgment dated 03.06.2019, acted contrary to its true intent and spirit, by evaluating answer sheets of candidates who had admittedly tampered or used whiteners and erasers in Part-B of the OMR answer sheets, thereby vitiating the selection process and causing grave prejudice to meritorious candidates like petitioners.

Inclusion of candidates with tampered answer sheets in a selection process violates fundamental rights under Articles 14 and 16, mandating adherence to judicial directives for fair recruitment practi....
Alteration of recruitment standards post-process violates constitutional fairness prohibitions under Articles 14 and 16.
