CCSAP Report - Ministry of Home Affairs

5.31 Further action taken on the Supreme Court Order
5.31.01 Post dismissal of the review petition, the Andhra Pradesh Legislative
Assembly passed a resolution on March 18, 2010, to request the Ministry of
Home Affairs, Government of India, to obtain the approval of the President of
India to delete clause (f) of Para 14 of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment
(Organization of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) order,
1975 37 . The Chief Secretary, Government of Andhra Pradesh, vide his D.O. No.
40927/MC-I/2009-2, dated 22.03.2010, has written to the Ministry of Home
Affairs, Government of India, to omit the provision under clause (f) of Paragraph
14 of the Presidential Order. The Chief Secretary has mentioned in this letter that
this is necessary to remove the misconception that Hyderabad is a free zone for
recruitment to the posts in civil services. Thus, the issue of deleting or continuing
with the exemption contained in Para 14(f), in particular, is currently before the
Government of India.
5.31.02 As stated earlier, the Committee took note of the progress made
during the last four years and the earnest steps taken to implement the
recommendations of the One Man Commission. The Government, after
identifying 18,856 employees for repatriation, has already repatriated 14,784
employees. Not only is this good performance but also, all efforts appear to have
been made to implement the Presidential Order.
5.31.03 Since the formation of the CCSAP, there have been three agitations
relating to public employment. In September 2010, the Telangana activists and
the Osmania University Joint Action Committee took up an agitation for
postponing the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission Screening Test for
Group – I posts until 42% of the jobs are reserved for those from Telangana. A
report in this regard was obtained from the state Government and it has been
informed as under:
37 Letter No. 199/Legn./2009-5.
