The government’s decision to appoint village revenue assistants (VRAs) as junior assistants and other lower cadre positions in the government departments has been struck down by the Telangana High Court which directed the State government to maintain status quo on the issue.
Justice P Madhavi Devi suspended the two government orders, GO 81 issued by the Principal Secretary, Revenue and GO 85 issued under the name of the Special Chief Secretary, Finance. She was responding to writ petitions filed by employees of the Revenue department working at various levels who questioned the modalities of the absorption and the procedures involved in it.
