A special meeting was convened in the office of Home Minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy to discuss the issue.

it was decided that the government should take a favourable view of the candidates who came under the ‘Suppression of Facts’ offence only if cases registered against them were related to the Telangana movement. Such candidates were on the verge of losing their appointments under the ‘Suppression of Facts’ clause.

The meeting however agreed that appropriate action should be taken after a comprehensive inquiry into the issue.
