ORDER:
The functioning and performance of the Strictly Confidential Unit comprising of General Administration (S.C.), Home (S.C.), General Administration (Vigilance & Enforcement) Department and Andhra Pradesh Vigilance Commission ever since the issue of orders in the G.Os 1st to 3rd read above effecting certain modifications in the Rules of Recruitment of Assistant Section Officer (S.C.) has been reviewed and found necessary to reiterate the orders issued in the G.Os second and third read above since the A.P.

3. The past experience proved that when the minimum service from 5 years to 3 years was reduced, there was a good response from the Assistant Section Officers (Single Unit) who have put in 3 years and more service in that category.
4. Since there is dire need for filling up of the posts of Assistant Section Officers (S.C.) in Strictly Confidential Unit, it is felt necessary to issue executive orders as was done earlier pending issue of amendments in respect of qualifications mentioned in the (Annexure under Class-A) of Rule-9 against category-4 i.e., Assistant Section Officer (Strictly Confidential) of A.P. Secretariat Subordinate Service Rules issued in the G.O. fourth read above, so as to enable to conduct written examination for Assistant Section Officers (Single Unit) for selection to the posts of Assistant Section Officers (Strictly Confidential).

posts of Assistant Section Officers (SC), the following qualifications shall be
