The Telangana Residential Educational ... vs Saluvadi Sumalatha

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Telangana High Court which set aside the recruitment of junior lecturers by the appellant, emphasizing compliance with the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order 1975 and its amendments. The Court clarified that the recruitment process must adhere to the prescribed 30% merit-based allocation for both locals and non-locals, followed by 70% local reservation, as mandated by G.O.P No. 763 and Rule 22 of the Telangana State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996. The Court held that the recruitment agency's failure to follow these guidelines warranted the annulment of the recruitment process.
