centre located in the B.Ed. College at Osmania University, Hyderabad, the<br />

Telangana students entered the examination hall and tore up the question<br />

papers. APPSC decided on 14 th September to conduct Group-I examination again<br />

for all candidates whose centre was at B.Ed. College, Osmania University and<br />

also for those who had missed the same due to disturbances caused by<br />

Telangana bandh on September 5, 2010. The re-examination was conducted for<br />

all those who wanted to appear on October 25, 2010 at three centres in<br />

Hyderabad. 1037 candidates appeared for the examination on this day. The<br />

overall attendance for the examination i.e. applicants vis-à-vis candidates actually<br />

attended was 44.5% in the state and about 40.6% in Telangana. The question <strong>of</strong><br />

reservation for employment in Government jobs has been discussed in detail in a<br />

separate Chapter subsequently in the <strong>Report</strong>.<br />

1.5.11 The lawyers <strong>of</strong> Telangana region have been agitating for a long<br />

time on the issue <strong>of</strong> discrimination against them in appointments as law<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficers/standing counsels. While they had represented about this to the state<br />

Government and the Advocate General in February 2010, in September 2010 the<br />

agitation became serious through boycott <strong>of</strong> the Courts in Telangana region and<br />

also the High Court and through indefinite fasts etc. While this issue has been<br />

discussed at length subsequently in the <strong>Report</strong>, it will be worthwhile to mention<br />

here that the state Government constituted a Committee <strong>of</strong> three Ministers<br />

namely Dr. (Mrs) Geetha Reddy, Minister for Information & Public Relations and<br />

Tourism & Culture (from Telangana), Sri. Mopidevi Venkata Ramana Rao,<br />

Minister for Law & Courts, Technical Education, (from coastal Andhra) and Sri P.<br />

Ramachandra Reddy, Minister for Forests, Environment, Science and Technology<br />

(from Rayalaseema) - representing all the three regions - in September 2010 to<br />

ensure regional and social balance in the appointment <strong>of</strong> law <strong>of</strong>ficers and<br />

standing counsel. It is learnt that the Committee has since completed its work<br />

and submitted the report to the state government, fulfilling its mandate for<br />

providing regional and social justice in these appointments. Details pertaining to<br />

the lawyers‟ demands are also covered in the Chapter on “Employment in<br />

Government”.<br />
