10. The facts narrated in OA.No.161/2007 are taken as the basis for consideration:
The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (in short ‘Commission’) issued Notification
No.21/2003 and supplementary Notification No.6.2004 for recruitment to the posts of Group-I
Services. The applicant belongs to BC ‘D’ community. The applicant participated in the selection
process and secured 599 marks. The total number of vacancies notified in the cadre of MPDO is 235
under General Recruitment and 7 under limited recruitment. Out of this, 14 vacancies are earmarked
for BC’D’ General. Only 11 BC’D’ (General) are selected. Out of 11 BC ‘D’ (General) candidates
selected, 8 of them got higher marks than the lower OC candidate in the cadre of MPDO. As per law,
reserved candidates who secured higher marks than the OC candidates and got selected must be
treated as General candidates and all reserved vacancies must be filled by the candidates next in the
order of merit of that reserved category. The Commission has not adopted this procedure while
making the selection. As such, it is contended that the selection list made by the Commission is illegal
and selection is liable to be redrawn.
11. The Commission filed common counter contending that with regard to the contention of the
applicant in OA.No.238/2007 that 1 vacancy reserved for BC ‘A’ was not filed in, is not correct.
The post of MPDO is organized into Multi Zone-I and II although there is no reservation to locals,
selections were made as per options obtained from the candidates. The vacancy position so far as
BC ‘A’ (Women) in the cadre of MPDO is as follows:
1
