18556 of 2025 COMMON ORDER :-

The issue involved in all these writ petitions is one and the same with regard to the conducting of Group-I mains examinations from 21.10.2024 to 27.10.2024 by the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) i.e. 2nd respondent (hereinafter referred as “Commission”), seeking different reliefs. After hearing all the counsels, this Court is inclined to pass a common order in all these writ petitions.

2. The primary issue involved in majority of the writ petitions is with regard to questioning the evaluation method and several irregularities, such as, procedural and evaluation (lack of transparency, fairness, wrong doing, arbitrariness and deviating the Rules) in conducting the examinations, which leads to filing of these writ petitions. The action of the respondent authorities undermines the sanctity of Group-I Mains Examination.
