No. 26386 of 2023Case Name- Bepari Shaik Arshiya Anjum Vs. The High Court Of Andhra Pradesh and OthersCitation: LiveLaw (2025) AP 110The Andhra Pradesh High Court has dismissed a plea of a Civil Judge (Junior Division) applicant, who sought appointment under the BC-E category in the Andhra Pradesh State Judicial Services, and had her candidature rejected on account of non-compliance with eligibility conditions.Following the publication of a recruitment advertisement, the petitioner had submitted her non-creamy layer certificate much after the entire selection process had concluded. In this regard, a Division Bench of Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Ravi Cheemalapati explained,“According to the advertisement notification, it was made clear to the petitioner and similarly situated others that any applicant who intended to avail the reservation had to upload the non-creamy layer certificate, and in case of failure to upload the same, that the candidate would be considered under the open merit category. The petitioner, therefore, was required to upload the requisite certificate before the last date for application prescribed in the advertisement notification, i.e., 8.12.2022, and therefore, clearly her case could not have been considered in any category except the open category as had clearly been made clear in the said notification.”Andhra Pradesh High Court Upholds Waqf Board's Power To Take Over Mosque Management Despite Existence Of Judicial SchemeCase Number: WRIT APPEAL NO: 845/2016Case Title: K.Md.Sadiq And 10 Others and Others v. Chief Executive Officer waqf And 3 OthersCitation: LiveLaw (2025) AP 111In a significant ruling, the Andhra Pradesh High Court held that the Waqf Board is authorised under Section 65(5) of the Waqf Act, 1995 (Act of 1995) to take over the management of a mosque in cases of evident mismanagement, despite the existence of a judicially formulated scheme governing the management of the mosque.In the present case, the mismanagement of Shahji Jamia Mosque, Adoni, was in question, where misappropriation of roughly Rs.150 crores of property and violations of the Act of 1995 was involved, including a failure to submit annual income accounts, budget proposals, and expenditure statements.In this regard, a Division Bench of Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Ravi Cheemalapati held,“Regarding overriding effect of the provisions of the Waqf Act by virtue of Section 108A, as rightly contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the same shall be read in conjunction with Section 32 of the Act. Upon such, the end result would be that the Board will have general superintendence so as to ensure that waqf properties are properly maintained, controlled and administered and income thereof is duly applied to the objects and for the purposes for which such waqf was created, however, such a superintendence, shall be subject to any scheme made by any Court of law, whether before or after the commencement of the Act.”Andhra Pradesh HC Strikes Down Computer-Based Test Method For Appointment Of Teachers At Schools Receiving Grant-In-AidCase Number- W.P.No.7036 of 2025 & BatchCase Name- Sri Potti Sriramulu Upper Primary SPSUP School vs The State Of AP & Ors.Citation: LiveLaw (2025) AP 112The Andhra Pradesh High Court has struck down the Computer-Based Test (CBT) method for the ...
