Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal's decision regarding the appointment of candidates from a wait list for Assistant Public Relations Officers. The Court interpreted Rule 6 of the Andhra Pradesh Service Commission (Procedure) Rules, emphasizing that the wait list was valid for one year and that the Commission was obligated to fill vacancies from the wait list if they arose within that period. The Court affirmed that the applicant was entitled to appointment based on the valid wait list and the subsequent vacancies notified during that time.
