Government Of Andhra Pradesh Etc. Etc vs P. Dilip Kumar And Anr. Etc. Etc on 3 February, 1993
23. Applying the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of P. Dilip Kumar
(Supra), to the facts of the present case, this Court finds that the APSC authorities had not
committed any error in excluding the petitioners from the selection process at the stage of
the written examination, on they being found to have not secured the cut-off marks as
determined in the matter. The preferential qualification as set out in the advertisement
admittedly had no application at the stage of the written examination and the same was
mandated to be applied in respect of candidates, possessing such preferential qualification,
on they succeeding in all the stages of the selection process. Accordingly, this Court does not
find any prejudice being caused to the petitioner, in the matter, as their exclusion from the
Page No.# 21/21
selection process was on account of their below par performance in the written examination.
