Unemployed B.Ed graduates vs State of Telangana — DSC 2008 recruitment rules challenge

A division bench of the Telangana High Court dismissed a batch of petitions challenging the 30% reservation for D.Ed. qualified candidates for Secondary Grade Teacher (SGT) posts in the DSC-2008 recruitment process. The petitioners argued that the amendment to the recruitment rules, introduced via GO Ms No 28 on January 29, 2009, was arbitrary as it occurred after the initial notification. The court upheld the reservation, noting that recruitment conditions must be transparent and that the government's actions were consistent with earlier judicial directions.
