K Kavitha writes to CJI seeking cancellation of TGPSC Group 1 exam

K Kavitha writes to CJI demanding cancellation of Telangana Group 1 exam, citing constitutional violations and procedural lapses affecting thousands of aspirants.

"This violation is not just a legal lapse but a wound inflicted upon the very spirit of Telangana - K Kavitha"

New Delhi, October 23

Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha on Thursday sought the suo motu intervention of the Supreme Court in Telangana Group-I recruitment and cancellation of the examination, alleging "serious procedural lapses" and "violation" of the Presidential Order under Article 371 D of the Constitution of India.

In her letter addressed to CJI BR Gavai, K Kavitha urged an independent judicial inquiry into the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) Group I examination and the associated recruitment process to ensure transparency and accountability.

Referring to Article 371 D of the Constitution, K Kavitha said that the provision safeguards that guarantee fair and equitable opportunities for local candidates. She added that the Telangana government "disregarded this constitutional assurance."

"This violation is not just a legal lapse but a wound inflicted upon the very spirit of Telangana and the faith of its people in constitutional justice. What makes this situation even more distressing is the indifference of the State authorities despite repeated appeals, complaints, and growing public concern. This silence has eroded the faith of lakhs of aspirants, many from modest backgrounds, who have worked tirelessly for years with integrity and commitment. Their dreams now lie shattered, replaced by frustration and disbelief in the system that was meant to protect their rights," the former BRS leader wrote.

She also pointed out that the examination, held nearly a decade after the formation of Telangana, had already been cancelled twice earlier, leaving lakhs of aspirants anxious and disheartened.

Last month, the TGPSC released the results of the Group-I Services Main Examination, which was held in October 2024, with 562 candidates provisionally selected against 563 notified vacancies.

In line with the Commission, the examination was conducted from October 21 to October 27, 2024, in the conventional mode. The provisional selection list was drawn up based on the General Ranking List (GRL) published on March 30, 2025, and subsequent certificate verification.

Article 371D is crucial for protecting local candidates' rights. If there's been violation, it's a serious matter. Hope Supreme Court takes cognizance and ensures justice for Telangana youth.

While I support transparency, cancelling the exam for the third time would be unfair to those who cleared it fairly. Instead of cancellation, they should investigate and take action against officials responsible for lapses.

My brother has been preparing for this exam for 3 years. The uncertainty is killing his morale. Government exams should be conducted with utmost transparency - it's about people's futures! 🙏

As someone who has observed Indian bureaucracy, this highlights the urgent need for reforming public service commissions across states. The system needs modernization and better accountability mechanisms.

Ten years after Telangana formation and still such issues? This is disappointing. Local candidates deserve their constitutional rights. Hope justice prevails for all the hardworking aspirants.
