High Court clears Group-I interviews

Hyderabad, January 03 (INN): The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday gave clearance to the Andhra Pradesh State Public Service Commission to conduct interviews for the successful candidates of Group-I exams held last year as per schedule from January 4-10.

Earlier, the interviews were stayed by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal following a petition by some Telugu medium candidates who alleged irregularities. The Tribunal had also asked the APPSC to file a counter petition by January 20. However, the APPSC approached the High Court challenging the stay.

While vacating the stay on interviews, the High Court said that the Group-I recruitment process would be bound by the final verdict in the case. (INN)
