B. MANMAD REDDY vs CHANDRA PRAKASH REDDY .

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of Note 6 to Rule 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Educational Service Rules, which prescribes a promotion roster for District Educational Officers. The Court held that individuals from different sources integrated into one class cannot be classified into separate categories for promotion based solely on their source of recruitment. The judgment affirmed the High Court's decision to uphold the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal's ruling regarding the unconstitutionality of Note 6, thereby dismissing the appeals of direct recruits to the Andhra Pradesh State Educational Service.
