HYDERABAD: In a huge relief to the candidates selected by the Telangana State Public Service Commission for Group-1 posts, the Telangana High Court on Thursday set aside the orders of a single judge, which had cancelled the results and merit list.

A division bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin pronounced the orders on the petitions filed by the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TGPSC) and some selected candidates challenging the single judge order by Justice Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao, which had set aside the final marks list and General Ranking List of the Group-1 Mains examination.

The single judge, in his order on September 9, 2025, had directed the TGPSC to either manually re-evaluate all answer scripts or re-conduct the examinations within eight months, citing "glaring lapses" in the evaluation process.
