Union Minister Bandi Sanjay asks TGPSC to provide details of selected candidates of Group-1 exam
Sanjay is seeking to implead in the petition filed by Group-1 aspirants in the Telangana High Court. Recently, several aspirants approached Sanjay alleging irregularities in the conduct of the Group-1 examination and selection process and sought justice.
Following this, the Minister of State wrote to the TGPSC chairman seeking details of all 563 selected candidates, including the marks list, the language in which the test was taken, hall ticket numbers for both Prelims and Mains, category, and details of alleged violations of rules 12.2 and 15.3, with reasons.
He also requested information about the valuation stages, the number of evaluation days and centres, and the total number of hours it took to complete the paper evaluation. Sanjay further sought details of General English and Papers 1–6, including medium-wise attendance, whether aspirants followed the biometric system, and if not, the reasons for non-compliance.
He also asked whether there were any discrepancies in attendance or absentee data. Sanjay alleged that a leak on social media suggested that 618 aspirants scored over 450 marks, which matched the official release, and questioned what action was taken against those responsible.
Sanjay also requested details on claims that over 1,500 candidates received the same marks, where hall ticket numbers were in the range of 0–50, and aspirants alleged the use of a coded marking algorithm. He questioned why only TGPSC followed this system when even UPSC and APPSC reportedly do not.

‘Darr chor ko lagta hai... We are not scared': 11/7 Mumbai train blast accused hopeful of Supreme Court acquittal
Mumbai train blasts case by the Bombay High Court, several accused expressed optimism about a favorable outcome in the Supreme Court MUMBAI: Most of the accused in the 11/7 Mumbai train bombings acquitted by Bombay high court said that they were hopeful that they would be acquitted by Supreme Court as well. A relative of Naved Hussain, who was given the death sentence by a trial court and was acquitted by the high court, said it was a process of law. "We would have been disappointed if the apex court had asked the men to return to jail. That is not the case. We will fight this case legally in Supreme Court and are sure to win it there too," said the relative. Dr Tanvir Ansari, who was termed a conspirator in the case and was acquitted, said, "Chor ko darr lagta hai (A thief feels scared). We are innocent. We are not scared. The high court judgment has covered all the angles. We will see it legally." Ansari had lost his mother while in jail.

Lower judiciary treated like ‘shudras', ‘les misérables', High Court judges like ‘savarnas': Madhya Pradesh HC quashes termination of district judge
In a scathing comment on judicial power structures, a Division Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has likened the relationship between the High Court and the District Judiciary to a caste system, observing that judges in the lower judiciary are treated like 'shudras' and 'les misérables', while High Court judges function with the entitlement of 'savarnas'. The French term, 'les misérables', translates to 'the miserable ones' in English and is commonly used to refer to the poor and marginalised, as in Victor Hugo's French novel of the same name. A Division Bench of Justices Atul Sreedharan and Dinesh Kumar Paliwal made the observations on July 14 while quashing the termination of former Additional District and Sessions Judge Jagat Mohan Chaturvedi. He was dismissed in 2014 after passing divergent bail orders in cases linked to the Vyapam scam. The court said the judicial officer had suffered 'gross injustice' and ordered the restoration of his pensionary benefits. It also imposed a cost of Rs 5 lakh on the state for the 'hardships he and his family were subjected to' and 'the humiliation in society that he had to face, only on account of passing judicial orders, without an iota of material coming on record to even establish corruption even on the anvil of preponderance of probability'. Speaking on the entrenched hierarchy in the judiciary, the Bench observed, 'The relationship between District Judiciary and the High Court in the state is not based on mutual respect for each other, but one where a sense of fear and inferiority is consciously instilled by one on the subconscious of the other. At a subliminal level, the penumbra of the caste system manifests in the judicial structure in this state where those in the High Court are the savarnas and the shudras are the les misérables of the District Judiciary.' Describing the dynamic between the High Court and the lower courts, the judges said, 'The dismal relationship between the Judges of the High Court and the Judges of the District Judiciary is one between a feudal lord and serf.' 'The body language of the Judges of the District Judiciary when they greet a Judge of the High Court stops short of grovelling before the High Court Judge, making the Judges of the District Judiciary the only identifiable species of invertebrate mammals,' they said. The Bench further added, 'Instances of the judges of the District Judiciary personally attending to Judges of the High Court (as desired by them) on railway platforms and waiting on them with refreshments, are commonplace, thus perpetuating a colonial decadence with a sense of entitlement.' Judges of the district judiciary deputed to work at the High Court registry 'are almost never offered a seat by the Judges of the High Court, and on a rare occasion when they are, they are hesitant to sit down before the High Court Judge,' the Bench said. The court also observed that the 'subjugation and enslavement of the psyche of the Judges of the District Judiciary is complete and irreversible, so it seems'. 'An overbearing High Court, ever willing to excoriate the District Judiciary for the most innocuous of its errors, ensures that District Judiciary is kept under perpetual and morbid fear of punishment,' it said. 'The fear of the District Judiciary is understandable. They have families, children who go to school, parents undergoing treatment, a home to be built, savings to be accumulated and when the High Court terminates his service abruptly…he and his entire family are out on the streets with no pension and the stigma of facing a society that suspects his integrity,' the court said. The court observed that a 'District Judiciary which is compelled to work perpetually under this fear cannot dispense justice and instead shall dispense with justice'. It added, 'All this adds up to the passive subjugation of the District Judiciary, leaving it psychologically emaciated, which ultimately reflects in their judicial work where bails are not granted in even the most deserving cases, convictions are recorded in the absence of evidence… All this in the name of saving their job, for which the Petitioner in this case suffered, for thinking and doing differently.'

India needs to have a clear trade plan Apropos 'India stands to gain…, Donald Trump has managed to shake up the world in a manner few others have done before. The economic world can now be divided into two distinct phases, before Trump 2.0 and after Trump 2.0. The entire world is in a tizzy and it is hard to think America itself is going to come out unscathed. This may offer an opportunity for India if one believes every crisis can be converted into an opportunity. But India would have to have a clear long term vision and plan, nimble manoeuvres and an approach like Chanakya if it wants to stay ahead of the curve. A tall order; but not impossible. Anthony Henriques, Mumbai Discuss issues with Oppn It is quite normal that the opposition demands a 'debate' on crucial policies impacting public good. The Special Intensive Revision in Bihar may be a requirement for Election Commission to eliminate refugees from Bangladesh, Myanmar but this must be debated in the House. Likewise, the Operation Sindoor and its outcomes also should be discussed in Parliament. The ruling party is unjust if they keep the major issues under wraps. P R Ravinder, Hyderabad AP govt move intriguing It is surprising that Andhra Pradesh state government has introduced CBSE syllabus for all classes from 2023 but exams are being conducted basing on old state syllabus model. CBSE Syllabus which lays emphasis on literature is unfamiliar to the teachers here and their troubles in following it are unprecedented. The students who cannot identify themselves with the characters in the prose & poetry of English cannot make head & tail of the text. The overburdened teachers are feeling it to be a tight-rope walk. What is the meaning in teaching a professional syllabus with questions based on rudimentary learning? It is like asking golf practitioners to play cricket and testing equestrians to ride on elephants. Teachers handbooks are distributed and they need extra time to fill in which is a far cry with respect to the time- table and floating allotment of classes. Asking teachers to scan and upload every page of every slip test written by every student is akin to asking mathematicians to count stars in the sky. These ridiculous systems need urgent revamp to avoid teachers from getting burnt out before even going to class. M Chandrasekhar, Ontimitta Too much speculation on V-P resignation A debate is going on in the media on the invisible reasons behind Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar's resignation. Many are reading 'in between the lines'. Only Dhankar can clarify on this. He has already cited health reasons and became silent. Wishing him a healthy, peaceful long life. Let's end this debate here and stop speculation. Many people are asking for an enquiry on VP resignation matter. Does constitution allow for the same. P V P Madhu Nivriti, Secunderabad Sports Bill can be a game-changer The National Sports Bill, recently tabled in the Lok Sabha, marks a much-needed overhaul of India's sports governance. For decades, sports federations have been dominated by long-serving presidents and opaque systems, often riddled with favoritism, mismanagement, and lack of accountability. The new bill sets strict term limits—three terms or 12 years—and caps the age at 70 for sports executives, breaking the monopoly of entrenched officials. A 15-member National Sports Panel, with at least four women, and a powerful National Sports Board will oversee all federations. Annual audits will be mandatory, and a Sports Tribunal led by a Supreme Court judge- serving or Retired will ensure justice in disputes. Importantly, even the independent BCCI will be brought under the RTI Act and registered as a sports federation. This bill is a vital step toward restoring credibility, ensuring transparency, and promoting merit-driven, athlete-first sports governance across India which will help develop trust in sportsperson's heart.
