Overview

• Justice Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao set aside the March 10 marks list and the March 30 general ranking for the Telangana Group‑I mains.
• The Telangana State Public Service Commission must manually re‑evaluate all answer scripts using the moderation method laid down in Sanjay Singh v. UPSC.
• If the exercise is not completed as directed, the court said the commission must reconduct the entire mains for those who cleared the prelims.
• Results from the re‑evaluation will be the sole basis to fill the 563 notified vacancies, pausing current postings until new scores are issued.
• The ruling follows nine petitions alleging flawed evaluation, including use of non‑Telugu evaluators, and drew support from BRS leaders who urged swift compliance.
