V.N. SUNANDA REDDY vs STATE OF A.P. .

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the Andhra Pradesh Government's G.O. No. 603, which provided a five percent weightage to candidates with Telugu medium qualifications in recruitment exams, under Article 309 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the weightage did not violate Articles 14 and 16, affirming the earlier decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court that upheld the G.O. The appeals by non-Telugu medium candidates were dismissed, reinforcing the legality of the weightage system.
