HC rejects appeal seeking Group-I exam stay; permits four debarred candidates to appear for exam

Justices Abhinand Kumar Shavili and Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao dismissed a writ appeal challenging a single judge order not to interfere with the conducting of Group-I preliminary test. The judges, however, made it clear that final selection of the candidates through the TSPSC test would be subject to the outcome of the result of the writ petitions pending before the HC.
