⚠️ Group-1 legal pointers:

"Arrangements Don’t Overrule Justice"

✔️After all the arrangements are made for a marriage

✔️If the bride decides at the last minute that she doesn't want to proceed, would the judiciary argue that she must go through with it just because the arrangements were made?

Importance of justice should prevail over procedural formalities."

How can injustice turn into justice just because only 6 petitioners are involved?

✔️Does quantity really outweigh quality?

✔️We must remember that all landmark judgments by the Supreme Court were initiated by individuals, proving that the power of a single voice can bring about significant change.

Urgent Appeal for Rescheduling Group 1 Mains Exam: Only 2 Days Left..!!

For those who have contacts with MLC Balmoor Venkat Anna and TPCC Mahesh Goud Anna, please reach out to them.
They are already aware of our Group 1 Mains issues after Balmoor Venkat Anna's participation in the V6 debate and Mahesh Goud's supportive tweet. Both have direct access to the Chief Minister, and we need their help for that final push to escalate our concerns to higher authorities.

Push for Immediate Action: We should coordinate a meeting where both leaders can come together with the student community and media presence, approach the CM's office. Once CM agrees they can request the Chief Secretary Madam to release the webnote and consider rescheduling the exam until at least November 20, 2024.

Emphasize the benefits of addressing this issue—supporting our cause will undoubtedly earn the backing of the student community and enhance "Praja Palana."

Post this in all the channels and groups: These two leaders are approachable they can understand issue of GO 29 and mental trauma of students.
