Overview
- The division bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G. M. Mohiuddin issued an interim suspension of the single judge’s September 9 directions that had set aside the marks and ordered manual re‑evaluation.
- The court allowed the Telangana State Public Service Commission to make Group‑I appointments based on the published results, with all appointments subject to the outcome of the appeals.
- Petitioners seeking cancellation asked for status quo, but the bench declined, keeping the Commission’s decisions contingent on the final judgment.
- The single judge had invoked the Supreme Court’s Sanjay Singh precedent to require manual re‑evaluation within eight months or, failing that, a fresh Mains for candidates who cleared Prelims.
- The bench scheduled written arguments by October 10 and listed a detailed hearing for October 15, as the parties dispute evidence of irregularities versus compliance with rules.
