HC Okay For Group-II Posts Certificate Verification

In a reprieve to job seekers, the High Court today gave the green signal to the TSPSC to go ahead with its process of filling up vacant posts under the Group-II head.

The court postponed the case to October 9 and instructed the petitioners to raise objections, if any.

According to information, the High Court asked the recruiting body to take up verification of the certificates for the Group-II posts. With this, a major hurdle has been cleared, and the TSPSC is likely to issue a notification to fill the posts by verifying the certificates of the eligible candidates very soon.

While TSPSC sought the permission of the High Court to go ahead with the recruitment, the petitioners asked for the stay imposed on the process to continue. The court, which had stayed the previous process of the TSPSC, on Thursday asked the officials to go ahead with filling the posts.

It may be mentioned here that the TSPSC conducted examinations for 1,032 Group-II posts and has to call 3,096 persons (maintaining a 1:3 ratio) for verification of certificates. However, the TSPSC said that it was decided to verify the certificates of 3,147 eligible persons to avoid any delay in the process and to accommodate physically challenged persons. Some 18 persons later moved court against issues in the question papers and the key released by the TSPSC. The previous stay expired on Thursday, and the court has now given the go ahead for the certificate verification to the recruiting body.
