A recent court decision has highlighted the case of Ms. Anjali Kumar, who was not allowed to apply for an Assistant Public Prosecutor position in Telangana. Here's a simplified breakdown of what happened.
Ms. Anjali Kumar, a lawyer in Telangana, wanted to apply for a job as an Assistant Public Prosecutor. She claimed that she met all the requirements listed in the job announcement dated August 15, 2025. Her lawyer, Mr. Alluri Divakar Reddy, explained that she had been working as a lawyer since September 29, 2022, and had a certificate showing three years of experience.
"The petitioner has been practicing as a lawyer in the State of Telangana."
The Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board (TSLPRB), represented by Sri C. Raja Shekar Reddy, argued that Ms. Anjali Kumar hadn't finished the required three years of work by the announcement date, August 15, 2025.
Judge Pulla Karthik reviewed the case and instructed the TSLPRB to consider Ms. Anjali Kumar's application starting from October 7, 2025. The court didn't express an opinion on whether the arguments were right or wrong but asked the board to make a decision quickly and fairly.
"This petition is resolved with a direction to the respondent to consider the application."
The TSLPRB has been ordered to review Ms. Anjali Kumar's application and decide soon. This case shows how important it is to carefully follow job requirements and how the courts can ensure fairness.
In summary, the court directed the TSLPRB to reconsider Ms. Anjali Kumar's application based on the updated timeline.
