Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court will pronounce its judgment on January 22, 2026, regarding the appeals challenging a single judge’s order that cancelled the Group-1 examination results and merit list.

A division bench comprising Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice GM Mohiuddin concluded hearing arguments on Tuesday after prolonged deliberations.

Background of the controversy
The case stems from a September 2024 single judge order by Justice Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao, which set aside the final marks list and General Ranking List of the Group-1 Mains examination.

The single judge had directed the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) to either manually re-evaluate all answer scripts or re-conduct the examinations within eight months, citing “glaring lapses” in the evaluation process.

However, the division bench stayed this order in September 2024, allowing TGPSC to proceed with issuing appointment orders to successful candidates while the appeals were being heard.
