Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh – A candidate, M. Parthasaradhi from Gajuwaka, has filed an appeal in the Andhra Pradesh High Court, challenging the upcoming Group-2 mains examination scheduled for October 23rd. A single judge bench previously rejected a plea to postpone the exam.
Parthasaradhi’s appeal argues that the single judge erred in not considering the alleged violation of the Supreme Court’s guidelines and G.O. 77 (2023) regarding horizontal reservations for women, differently-abled individuals, ex-servicemen, and sportspersons. He contends that the Group-2 notification incorrectly based the reservation roster on the number of vacancies instead of cadre strength, as mandated by the Supreme Court. The appeal further states that proceeding with the exam and then addressing potential discrepancies in the results would complicate the entire recruitment process. The appellant seeks a stay on the mains examination pending resolution of these issues.
