Claim versus record
What the record shows
Each lane keeps the public claim, the editorial finding, and the controlling records visually separate.
The Group-I record proves that posts were fixed or sold under the previous government
The 2021 High Court judgment found that APPSC changed the valuation method without the required disclosure and lawful decision process. A 2024 single-judge judgment found the later valuations illegal and arbitrary, and a 2026 Division Bench found a strong prima facie basis for a forensic investigation. A criminal case also concerns the Hailand payment. Those records establish serious recruitment-process failures. The reviewed archive contains no final appellate judgment, publicly accessible police final report or charge sheet, conviction or candidate-level benefit analysis proving that posts were fixed or sold.
The SIT found that 718 of 736 answer papers were tampered with
The published 718-of-736 figure concerns alterations or overwriting in OMR valuation slips or records, not substitution of 718 original answer books. The same report says the original answer scripts were intact and no answer-book substitution was detected. Marks reportedly rose in 197 cases and fell in 222, so the aggregate number alone does not identify a beneficiary pattern. Because the full SIT report and forensic annexures are not in the archive, the cause and legitimacy of every correction cannot yet be independently classified.
Plumbers, electricians and security guards evaluated civil-service answers
The Chief Minister made that claim in the Assembly. A separate report attributing its account to the SIT says Hailand operators—some working as electricians and clerks—entered, tabulated and bubbled marks already produced by the digital exercise rather than independently assessing subject answers. The court record identifies guards assigned to protect the Hailand strong room, not to grade scripts. Separately, the SIT press-release account says 25 people outside the approved panel did perform digital evaluation. Unauthorised and underqualified involvement is therefore supported, but the literal three-occupation claim collapses different roles into one.
Nothing resembling valuation happened at Hailand; it was only logistics
A court-appointed committee found marks on original OMR sheets associated with the alleged Hailand valuation, and the Division Bench said the answer scripts had been kept at the private resort without an authorising file. That contradicts a pure-logistics account. The reported SIT position is narrower: Hailand staff transferred marks already awarded digitally rather than conducting the independent subject-wise manual valuation the 2021 judgment required. The archive therefore supports a marks-entry exercise at Hailand, not a clean, court-compliant manual valuation.
The High Court finally cancelled all Group-I appointments
On 13 March 2024 a single judge set aside the 26 May 2022 shortlist and ordered a fresh mains examination. APPSC and selected candidates appealed. On 21 March the Division Bench protected already-appointed candidates from ouster as an interim measure; the appeals were later reopened, and in February 2026 the court ordered selected candidates into non-focal posts pending further orders. The single-judge ruling is a major adverse finding, but the final appellate merits decision remains pending.
Digital evaluation itself was illegal
The 2021 judgment set aside digital valuation for Notification No.27/2018 because the change was not communicated and the decision was taken through an impermissible process. The court expressly said APPSC could use digital or other advanced modes for future evaluations if the decision was taken strictly according to law. The defect was the adoption and governance of the method in this recruitment, not a blanket ban on digital marking.
Intact original answer books prove the selection was clean
Published accounts of the SIT say original answer scripts and selected-candidate barcodes were intact and that no deviation was found in interview-board grading. That narrows the allegation: the available reporting does not support wholesale replacement of answer books. But the same record describes widespread OMR-slip alterations, unauthorised evaluators, private-email workflows, custody failures and incomplete CCTV coverage. Integrity of the books does not by itself validate every valuation record or the final selection; the High Court's assessment remains pending.
The Rs.1.14 crore Hailand payment has already been proved stolen
The bail record confirms the APPSC payment of Rs.1,14,32,312 to Camsign and records the later complaint, FIR, arrests and prosecution allegation that the resort exercise required investigation. The court described the investigation as being at a threshold stage; its June 2025 order decided bail, not guilt. No police final report or charge sheet was located in the reviewed public record, and the archive contains no trial judgment or conviction establishing criminal misappropriation.
The August 2026 SIT final report is the criminal charge sheet against P.S.R. Anjaneyulu and Camsign
The August document reported in the press is the final report of the forensic SIT ordered by the High Court in the pending writ appeals. Crime No.56/2025 is a separate police investigation arising from the APPSC Secretary's April 2025 complaint. The latest accessible High Court bail order, dated 17 March 2026, granted P.S.R. Anjaneyulu regular bail on medical grounds, required cooperation with any further investigation and expressly left the merits open. Searches of the reviewed public court and news record did not locate a police final report or charge sheet in that crime as of 23 August 2026. Absence from this archive is not proof that no filing exists.
Y.S. Jagan attending the wedding of P.S.R. Anjaneyulu's son proves that Jagan directed the APPSC valuation exercise
An official YSRCP statement records that party president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy attended the officer's son's wedding in Hyderabad on 21 August 2026. The court record identifies P.S.R. Anjaneyulu as APPSC Secretary—not Chairman—during the disputed Hailand period, with the Chairman's post vacant from 27 November 2021 to 19 February 2022. The reviewed court orders and SIT press-release accounts do not name Jagan as ordering the valuation method, the move to Hailand, the Camsign work order, the payment or any mark alteration. The later social attendance is relevant context, but it does not by itself establish prior official direction, conspiracy or criminal liability.
The SIT conclusively cleared the final selection
South First reports that the SIT concluded the procedural lapses did not vitiate selection and that matching barcodes and interview compliance weighed against manipulation. PTI and Times of India, drawing on the same investigation or press release, report extensive unauthorised evaluation and forensic irregularities. Without the full signed report and annexures, those emphases cannot be reconciled independently. The High Court—not a press summary—still has to decide what the findings mean for the pending appeals.

169-post recruitment reaches a digitally evaluated shortlist
APPSC notified 169 Group-I posts. The preliminary examination was held on 26 May 2019 and 9,679 candidates qualified; 6,807 candidates sat the mains from 14 to 20 December 2020. APPSC digitally valued the scripts from January to April 2021 and provisionally admitted 326 candidates to interview.
High Court sets aside the undisclosed digital method
The High Court held that the change was not correctly adopted or communicated and directed APPSC to value the scripts manually within three months. It rejected a blanket ban: future digital evaluation remained available if lawfully adopted.
Answer scripts move to Hailand during a leadership vacancy
The 2026 Division Bench order records that the APPSC chair was vacant for part of this period and that the original scripts were kept at Avasa Resorts, Hailand. APPSC later could not produce a file identifying who authorised the move. A press statement during the period said manual valuation was nearing completion.
APPSC conducts another manual valuation in Vijayawada
APPSC says a conventional valuation was conducted at its office and SRR & CVR Government College, followed by a 26 May result shortlisting 325 candidates. Its official notice linked the exercise to the October 2021 court order. In later litigation, APPSC's counter said around 202 candidates from the earlier digital shortlist did not qualify in the manual list; that turnover was a fact in dispute, not proof by itself of manipulation.
Interviews and appointments proceed under court conditions
The High Court permitted interviews and selection to continue while requiring the results and appointments to remain subject to the writ petitions, undertakings from selectees, and preservation of answer books. Appointments were then issued on those terms.
Single judge invalidates the later valuations; appeals protect incumbents
A single judge declared the second and third valuations illegal, irregular and arbitrary under Rule 3(ix), set aside the shortlist and ordered a fresh mains examination. Eight days later, a Division Bench hearing the appeals directed that already-appointed candidates not be removed pending the next listing. The appellate merits dispute continued.
APPSC complaint becomes Crime No.56/2025
The APPSC Secretary sought an in-depth investigation into what Camsign did at Hailand. Suryaraopet police registered Crime No.56/2025; the former secretary and a Camsign representative were arrested. A June bail order recorded the Rs.1.14 crore payment and declined regular bail at the investigation's threshold, without deciding guilt.
Court obtains the answer material and finds Hailand-linked OMR marks
After APPSC had not complied with an earlier production direction, the Division Bench ordered answer scripts and OMR sheets into judicial custody. A retired-judge committee then reported that original OMR sheets contained marks awarded in the alleged Hailand valuation, and the appeals were reopened.
Division Bench orders an outside-state forensic probe
The court found serious prima facie doubts about the fairness and reliability of APPSC's process, ordered an ADGP-led SIT and CFSL testing of selected candidates, litigating unselected candidates and 100 candidates below the cutoff, and directed the 2022 selectees into non-focal posts. The order was investigative and interim, not a final merits judgment.
High Court grants P.S.R. Anjaneyulu regular bail on medical grounds
In Crime No.56/2025, the High Court said custodial interrogation had been completed, granted regular bail on medical grounds, required cooperation with any further investigation and twice-monthly police appearances, and warned that its observations were not merits findings. The order does not identify a filed police final report or charge sheet.
Court grants the SIT a final two-month extension
After hearing the SIT's progress, the Division Bench granted two further months to submit the report and said no further extension request would be considered.
SIT reaches court; published summaries differ on the outcome
PTI and Times of India reported severe control failures and extensive OMR-record alterations. South First reported the SIT's conclusion that the lapses did not vitiate selection, citing matching barcodes and no interview-board deviation; Times of India separately reported that original answer scripts were intact. The signed report and forensic annexures are not in the public archive, so the apparent tension cannot yet be independently resolved.
Chief Minister alleges a previous-government scandal and promises reform
In the Assembly, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu alleged unprecedented procedural violations and promised an APPSC overhaul. The statement records the current government's allegation and proposed policy response; it is not a judicial finding and does not substitute for the pending appellate judgment or criminal case.
Jagan attends the wedding of P.S.R. Anjaneyulu's son
An official YSRCP notice says party president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy attended the wedding at Jalavihar Grand Lawns in Hyderabad and blessed the couple. This verifies a later social association. It does not establish that Jagan directed any APPSC valuation, custody, vendor, payment or mark decision years earlier.
Legal proceedings
Court record lanes
The branches keep separate proceedings and their identifiers distinct; they do not imply a final merits finding.
The legal record establishes a chain of unlawful procedure, disputed valuation and court-ordered forensic scrutiny. The forensic SIT report in the writ appeals and the police investigation in Crime No.56/2025 are separate lanes. The archive contains neither a final appellate ruling nor a criminal charge sheet, trial judgment or conviction.

Evidence boundary
Supported and not established
The line matters: archived records can support a finding without resolving every allegation, motive, or final outcome.
What the sources support
- APPSC's own notices and the court chronology support a 169-post recruitment, 9,679 preliminary qualifiers, 6,807 mains candidates, and two materially different interview shortlists after digital and later manual valuation.
- The 2021 High Court judgment establishes that APPSC unlawfully changed and governed the valuation method for this notification; it did not prohibit digital evaluation in future recruitments.
- The court record establishes that original answer scripts were moved to a private resort, APPSC could not produce an authorisation file for that move, and a court-appointed committee later found marks on original OMR sheets associated with the Hailand exercise.
- The March 2024 single-judge judgment is a substantial finding that the later valuation process violated Rule 3(ix), but appeals remain pending and the Division Bench protected incumbents while ordering deeper forensic inquiry.
- The Rs.1.14 crore Camsign payment, APPSC complaint, Crime No.56/2025, arrests and P.S.R. Anjaneyulu's March 2026 regular-bail order are documented. They establish a criminal investigation and bail posture, not a conviction or final finding of misappropriation.
- Public accounts of the 2026 SIT work consistently support serious process-control failures. They also report that original answer books were not substituted and that selected-candidate barcodes matched across records.
- The YSRCP's own 21 August 2026 notice establishes that Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy attended the wedding of P.S.R. Anjaneyulu's son. It establishes attendance at a later social event, not an APPSC instruction or criminal nexus.
- Nothing in the reviewed archive establishes that posts were sold, that named selectees knowingly benefited, that the reported OMR alterations changed the final selection outcome, or that Jagan personally directed any disputed APPSC decision.
What remains unresolved
- Obtain and archive the signed final SIT report, its press release, all CFSL annexures and the candidate-level reconciliation table. Current public accounts quote or summarise those materials differently.
- Archive the official Andhra Pradesh High Court PDFs and complete appellate docket for W.A.Nos.258, 259, 269, 271, 274 and connected appeals; the current full texts are legal mirrors, and no final appellate merits judgment is archived.
- Obtain G.O.Rt.No.418 dated 14 February 2026 constituting or reconstituting the SIT and the later orders defining its membership and powers.
- Obtain the APPSC complaint dated 22 April 2025, FIR, remand reports, current trial-court docket, forensic financial trail and any police final report or charge sheet filed in Crime No.56/2025. No such final report or charge-sheet copy was located in the reviewed public record as of 23 August 2026.
- Obtain the approved evaluator panels, examiner qualification files, chairman approvals, private-email and Google Drive audit logs, payment work orders, guard registers and full CCTV inventory for all three valuation exercises.
- Reconcile every original answer book, original OMR slip, Hailand OMR entry, fresh Vijayawada OMR slip and final database mark to determine which corrections were authorised and whether any changed selection outcomes.
- Obtain candidate-level benefit analysis and authenticated decision records identifying who authorised each disputed evaluator, custody decision, mark change and payment before assigning individual criminal responsibility.
