Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Telangana Corporations could not operate the merit list downwards for filling vacancies due to the explicit provision in G.O.Ms. No. 81, which stated there would be no waiting list. The Court ruled that the subsequent clarification issued on 01.06.2016 was contrary to the original notification and thus invalid. Consequently, the appeals filed by the candidates seeking selection based on the merit list were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
