Telangana Judges Association vs Union Of India .

The Supreme Court addressed the bifurcation of the lower judiciary in Andhra Pradesh following the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, specifically Section 77(2) which mandates the formation of a separate Telangana State Judicial Service. The Court held that the recruitment process initiated by the High Court for Civil Judges was not in accordance with the law as it did not consider the necessary bifurcation of the subordinate judiciary, thereby affecting the seniority and promotion of Telangana Judicial Officers. The Court emphasized the need for proper representation and adherence to statutory provisions in the recruitment process.
