5.29 Status of implementation of the Presidential Order and G.O.
Ms. No. 610
5.29.01 When the Commission compared the 2001 Census figures with the
provisional figures of locals/non-locals, it found that the percentage of non-locals
in zones V and VI was negligible and far below the limit of 20%. The problem,
the Commission concluded, was not at the aggregate level but at the
disaggregated level. It found that, at the disaggregated level, most non-locals
had entered in the category of teachers (School Education Department) and
paramedics of the Health Department. If we look at the department-wise details
of employees identified for repatriation (18,856), this preliminary conclusion by
the OMC is confirmed. Of these, it is understood that 14,784 employees now
stand repatriated.
5.29.02 The maximum number of non-locals identified for repatriation was
from School Education (9693) and Health (1168). As such, Para 5(1) of G.O. Ms.
No. 610 has been largely implemented, subject to the definition of “local
candidate” as given in Para 7 of the Presidential Order. Further, it is apparent
that, the Government, through various G.O.s issued over a span of four years,
has addressed at least 16 genres of deviations directly out of the 18 stated in the
report of the One Man Commission. However, it must be noted that in 26 years
period when there was non-implementation of the Presidential Order G.O. Ms.
No.610, the matter was never vigorously challenged in the Courts of Law.
5.30 The Issue of Exclusion of Certain Posts from the
Presidential Order: The Supreme Court Order of 2009
5.30.01 Para 14 of the Presidential Order exempts certain classes of posts
from the operation of the Presidential Order. It means that in respect of these
posts there cannot be reservation for locals in any local area. Since most of these
posts are situated in Hyderabad, a feeling has taken root that the locals of
Hyderabad are not being given the benefit of reservation. Although Para 14
exempts six classes of posts [14(a) to 14(f)], the issue of exemption under 14(f)
